Campbell glad to here you got away. bet you end up worse than the kids when your at Disney .
Have a good one .

[Clarkie]

Still here!!! I'll start with a blanket statement don't book with Virgin, hugely disappointed They have litle or no support here in Florida. I've been at their office everyday since a week past Friday (due home last Saturday) and have been promised/fed all sorts of false hopes/infomation.

Took the bull by the horns and booked flights with US Airways from Orlando-Philedelphia-Dublin-Edinburgh bit of an epic but we'll be home Tuesday. Realistically with Virgin it will be next weekend at least

We are here with our in laws and father in law was due to have a biopsy for bladder cancer yesterday.To put it in perspective though, there is a guy in the queue every morning that has a son with cerebal palsy asking to go home or have medication supplied and he is still here. Due to go home 2 days before us.

The perception is that Virgin is a professional firm but that's not the case. I'm not being dramtaic, sensationalist or provocational. When i say there is no info there is absolutely no info. Mr Branson hang your head in shame matey...........................................................

See you all soon

P.S. Campbell if you are near Highway 27 drop in for a beer mate

Wonder if they'll open up Disney and SeaWorld for free for us then!

Having a ball, weather here, wish you were all lovely

Saw the Shuttle Atlantis on the launchpad 39B today. Really mental when you think about it. Kids couldn't have cared less but we were impressed

European air travel being "rebooted"

Neat.

Alistair was watching this for our flight outbound a couple of weeks ago, think he knew we'd landed before we did

[Stewart]

Well I was due to fly from EDI to LHR tomorrow morning at 6:30am then onwards to Los Angeles at midday for the Indycar of Longbeach. All I know is that the morning flight is definitely cancelled. Probably try and drive down to LHR tomorrow morning as that may be the place to be if when things eventually start moving again. Did think about the train but it is £140 each Flights are BMI & Virgin.

Ho hum

Well the volcano put paid to last year's Indycar trip. Tomorrow morning I am supposed to be flying across to see the Indy 500. Not looking good.

So far have booked euro tunnel to try and catch the Paris-chicago leg of the flight.

Aircraft landing at PIK this mornin despite what's being reported, and we've an engine on test at the moment; I don't think the ash is quite with us here yet.

[StiflerMR2]

Meant to be flying up to Edinburgh on Friday from Brum.

So far flights to Dundee and Aberdeen are cancelled - hopefully Edinburgh will be okay

[Dave]

Well I was due to go offshore today, just had a call to let me know not to bother checking in, all CHC flights cancelled for today
not so good news for my back to back though.

Gives me a chance to get some kit out to a rig after someone pushed the big red button last night and operated the energency cutter
