Sorry, Arillas - we may not get there....

[Janis]

The no-fly zone for this period has moved east to a line stretching from Prestwick on the west coast to Humberside on the east coast and south to a line just north of Birmingham.  Airports which fall within the no-fly zone include all those in Northern Ireland, Ronaldsway, Prestwick, Carlisle, Manchester, Liverpool, Doncaster, Humberside, Leeds Bradford and East Midlands and some Scottish island airports including Campbeltown, Islay and Barra.

This is from www.nats.co.uk

and Manchester airport has said it will be closed until 7pm tonight - we're due to fly at 7.25am tomorrow....

Ah Janis. I don't know what to say except I hope & pray that you'll reach Arillas tomorrow. I'll keep everything crossed for you & everyone else.
This damn volcano is causing so many problems & heartache.

Thinking of you.

Thank you for your concern. It's an awful situation to be in. My daughter's in Monaco at the moment for the Grand Prix and due to fly back to Leeds Bradford tomorrow (possibly!) LBA's website says next update 18.00.
Manchester airport doesn't say when the next update will be, but they're closed 1300 - 1900 today.
The only good news at the moment is that our taxi company doesn't need to be informed until 25 minutes before they were due pick us up (so we'll be letting them know at half three tomorrow morning, lol)

Hi Janis, we are in the same boat.  Due to fly from Manchester 5.15 p.m. tomorrow night.  Not looking good.  We are sat here all packed and raring to go.  2 weeks off work and all our goodbyes said.  Only one happy is the cat who may miss the 2 week stay in the cattery!  We are watching the web and waiting. xx

It is all so depressing. Jen and I have also got everything crossed for you all. Still time for something to turn up....

We've not been in this situation before, but on the positive side we are lucky because neither of us have had to take time off work for this holiday.
It will simply be a matter of (hopefully) going in a few days' time, fingers crossed.
I'm still b..... frustrated by it all though.
What about Sandy and Dad? I'd hoped to meet them in our first few days and their last few - after their initial disruption I'm sure they don't either want or need any more....
We may miss Martinw and Mary as well - and we were looking forward to seeing them again

Janis I have my fingers and everything else crossed for you, a lot can happen in a few hours so there's still a chance.  Our holidays are important to us all and I just can't believe that a volcano in Iceland can cause so much hassle.
