So after two years I finally get to return to Europe, and what happens? Freakin' volcano! That wasn't even on the list of probabilities. I used to love Iceland, but now they're pissin' me off!
No, seriously, I love how Iceland makes such a nuisance of itself.
Actually we were more depressed at the possibility of being stranded in the U.S. instead of England. This is my mother's first overseas adventure (my fourth) and we've been planning it for over two years. It was intended to be a retirement/65th birthday present from my sister and me, but my sister and her husband adopted a child instead. And that's a whole other different kind of adventure. :-)
So I'll be taking Mom to England for a week. We plan to visit gardens, tea rooms, London and Canterbury. I also plan to meet up with my "French connection" Edouard. (OK, that's a joke, DEA!) And we'll be staying right outside a town called Sandwich. And given the recent volcanic ash that strangled European air travel, it is even more ironic that our B&B is located right outside Sandwich in a little village called . . . Ash. You just can't make this stuff up.
We leave on Sunday April 25th on the red eye.
Til then . . . Cheerio!

We'll be having fishs and chips in honor of your grand trip. Ok, it will really be fishsticks. Since we are the couple referred to in your article with the adopted six year old.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll have a glass of Scotch whiskey in honor of your trip. I know, I know ... that's Scottish and not English, but they're attached, so it's okay.
