Damn Volcano

Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ahem. Well, our Sunday flight to Paris is officially cancelled. Charles de Gaulle is closed until at least Monday morning. And the Eryrkjkllapplorkjllrwebmngszejjkle volcano seems to be picking up steam. He he, see what I did there? Volcano? Steam?

We are assuming that we won't be able to get on a flight until later this week if the airports do open again. Lots of us will be in line for flights. So its likely the cycling portion of the trip won't happen. We have done a cost benefit analysis and $900 to get bikes over there and back seems mighty steep for only a few days of riding. We will just extend our time in Paris and maybe do more day trips from there by train. All assuming the airports reopen.

Fortunately, Rob got trip insurance. Money well spent. We assumed striking French people would derail the trip and it turns out to be a natural disaster.
