Nervous

Saturday I fly back to Denmark and Poland.

I feel a certain amount of trepidation at the possibility of being stranded.  Again.  Evidently ash is still impacting European travel.   Yeah, I'm worried.  I am more OK about being stranded after I have finished teaching than being stranded somewhere in the middle.  My weak geography plus some maps lead me to understand that water is a major obstacle between my two destinations.  Sadly, there are no direct train routes between the two.  Ugh.

As if work and the possibility of plane breakdown isn't enough stress!

In the past week and a half I keep meeting people for whom I am the only person they have met who was personally impacted by the European halt in traffic.  *sigh* This really isn't as cool a recommendation as it sounds.  At least, it isn't until I am done with this particular process. 

Think positive wind thoughts.

Don't know if this will make you feel any better, but I do know another person who was stuck the same length of time as you were, in London. She was there on vacation, which was supposed to be just a short 6-day trip. I think her stay doubled... much money eaten up, which she hadn't planned on spending, not to mention other complications I'm sure. Eek.

Good luck! I will use my awesome powers of weather domination to keep the winds away from you! And if that doesn't work, I'll just rage impotently against the heavens here in Texas... Still, as long as you don't wind up spending more money while stranded than you're making teaching the classes to begin with, you're doing okay. Have your employers given you any kind of promises regarding paying for possible extended hotel stays like last time?

P.S. If you can squeeze them in, pack emergency items! Perhaps that stuffed animal Travis wanted you to bring last time? :-D
