ASH Report - Day 5

Yesterday being Day 4 of the disturbance of air space due to Icelandic Ash, was also my first day of the stuff affecting my life.  My flight was canceled and I was left in London (no sad face necessary as I LOVE this city and would love to call it home at some point in my life).  I've got work I can do, am traveling for work (so they are picking up the cost of this trip) and there's really not much anyone can do.  The boss and VP have been cool about it and really...I had nothing to do with the sacrifice to the gods to make the volcano erupt and spew ash everywhere eruption.

I have been on the phone to corporate travel (who are quite useless, I will just say) and with my airline - go Virgin Atlantic - you guys continue to rock my world.  I'm re-booked (just waiting for the email with my e-ticket to come through) and flying out on Sunday 25 April.  Just a week late.  Not bad.  Considering the back log of people they have to get through and all of the unhappy customers (I'm sure) the folks at the Virgin call centre were extremely helpful and polite in taking my re-booking.

Anyway - looks like I'll be home, fingers crossed, next Sunday afternoon!  Lovely place to be stranded, this town they call London!  =)
