Is the Volcano ash going to ruin your plans?
I'm starting to panic a small bit as my mother is booked to fly out next friday from Ireland to New Zealand. I havnt seen her for such a long time and I'm really hoping she is going to make it but its not looking good. God it took me years to convince her to come here in the 1st place and now it looks like its just not going to happen.
Worst bit is my little boys are so excited about seeing her and I just hope I dont have to tell them that she wont make it now. What are other people doing that plan to come here in very near future? What are the airlines saying? God I feel sick thinking about it all........... |

Stay positive it could all blow over by then. Some news media reports that it should all be gone by Thursday/Friday but I don't think anyone really knows. Hope your mum gets here one way or the other. Maybe if they are not flying on that day then she can re-schedule. Fingers crossed for you. I may need a quick trip to the UK to see my mum as she is not well but I am praying that she will stay ok while this stuff blows over.:) I am sure it will all be fine in the end.

We had made tentative plans to return to the UK almost immediately re family news but have now put that on hold. After all your ups and downs I do hope your Mum arrives as soon as she can. Our parents are so precious . |

Latest news from internet!!!!!!!!!!
Airlines are resuming services at several airports in the UK and northern Europe, with flight restrictions set to be relaxed more widely from this afternoon. Aviation officials are hopeful air traffic will return to normal by Thursday as the Icelandic volcano ash plume which has paralysed air travel appears to be easing. Airports in northern England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Belgium, France and Germany are slowly grinding back into action and will allow planes back into the air from this afternoon. Hopefully your Mum will arrive safely Irish-Eyes:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: |
