Aack! Possible Real Vacation Disaster

So, Iceland had to go and get all cute and have a natural disaster that is effecting the whole rest of the world! Just who do those Icelanders think they are? Airports all over northern Europe are closing due to the ash plume from the volcano eruption. Notice the main airport in Iceland, however, remains open! First they foist Bjork upon us and now this!

Charles de Gaulle airport will close tonight at 11:00 pm. (Though maybe the bigger news is that CDG actually normally closes every night from midnight to 5:00 am.) It may or may not re-open tomorrow. As of now, the flight we will be taking on Sunday that is scheduled for Saturday is still on.

The great thing about our itinerary is that we can just pick up wherever we happen to be in it. If we don't fly until Monday, we ride our bikes to the Monday town. If it's Wednesday, we ride to Wednesday's town. We won't have to reshuffle the whole thing since we are riding in a big circle around Paris. I do want my whole vacay, though!

I do have to say, I am very sorry for the people in Iceland who have been forced out of their homes due to the flooding from the melted glacier. Not fun.

Okay, back to me. The hard part about writing a blog is that I think of something clever and witty to say while I am on the other end of the house getting more coffee or a snack and by the time I get back down on the computer end, I have forgotten what it was. So insert something clever and witty here. Now chuckle, maybe shake your head a little at my impishness. Okay, we can go on now.

Mom has offered to line everyone up facing east and have them all blow as hard as they can to try to push the ash away. Great plan! Huffing and puffing will commence at 7:00 pm MT tonight.
