Hi Mick & Jill, I believe Dave and Ann were on the same plane as Janice and Barry, Nice to know Tracy got there as well. Dont know of anybody meant to be flying today from london airports so its Wendy and Stu we have to keep our fingers crossed for now.
It sounds lke this could go on for some time yet our Michelle's meant to be going to the canaries with her 2 children at beginning of July and she's already getting in a bit of a tiz about it.
It's just amazing what nature can do to upset all the human race when you think about all the technology we have and it can still beat us. Viv

So glad everyone made it so far, fingers crossed for everyone else.  As I am typing this the news has just come on, said if the airports aren't closed there will be long delays.  Hope our flight on the 4th is ok but who knows.  I know we all complain about not getting away but it's the lives of the families who run small buisness's in these countries that will suffer the most as its their lively hood.

Wish I could swear on here, VOLCANOs aagghhhhhhhhhhhhh

I quess your on one of the site's that shows you where a certain flight is, and they are not using there mobile on the plane. joke.
I think they are the last one's on the forum to fly today and all seem to have got their flights even if held up a bit. Have we anyone going tomorrow or can we all sleep easy in our beds tonight.
I recieved an e-mail this morning sent yesturday and part of it was as follows.......
at the moment there is no beach at all. I sat on the bench by Portofino and the waves were hitting the pebble wall at the base of the path, sea spray was hitting my face as I sat there. Saturday we had this horrenous storm I got caught in the rain and it was as if I had fallen in a pool.......
but the writer didnt say anything about wishing they were back here. So im guessing that its still better then not being there. lol. and that they are glad that the ash didnt stop them. Viv

[riggers]

Great news our friends are getting there, lets hope we all get there on our dates.....pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaassssseeee.

[Eggy]

Its great news that everyone has got to Arillas today. I managed to track Janice's Thomson flight after it took off from Manchester. It was good to see it enroute.

I wonder how many of us will go through this awful anxiety, with the ash,  over the next few months. Not many I hope.
