The airlines' (Singapore and Lufthansa) respective websites encourage hope that the planned trip to Germany, Turkey, Greece and the USA will go ahead more or less as planned. Eyjafjallajokull - a real challenge to pronounce - has certainly taken centre stage in Lyn and my lives as we have nearly three months of overseas travel planned and the likelihood of enormous complications being created as the ash billowed from Hephaestus' little Icelandic chimney. -What is the Norse god of volcanoes called? Is it another of Thor's portfolios? More likely responsibility for volcanoes falls within Loki's brief as eruptions are at best a form of mischief ...
We have proceeded as if no disruption to our plans would occur, intending to begin on Thursday contacting Flight Centre and/or airlines directly to determine if we needed to adjust to the travel chaos that has been reported in the press, on TV and on the Internet. Friends are scheduled to fly to Europe today, so if they are flying with Qantas, they will be either staying home or making alternate arrangements.
For now, we will continue to pack, make arrangements for our affairs to be attended by Kristian and keep our fingers crossed. If we get away, I will make more postings about our travels. NB this is my first ever blog.
