I know, this is a little late, but I have much catching up to do. It's amazing how well travelled everyone is these days. Me? I loved the fact that they grounded the planes because of the volcanic dust from iceland. How amazing to look up and see no vapour trails throught the sky. I wonder if it improved our health for a few days? The following are extracts from friends messages as they tried to get home to Blighty.

Hi Girls
Just wanted to moan to someone. Being trapped in Miami for an extra few days was fine, but now it's raining and I've run out of clean underwear, disposable contact lenses, money and HRT! So- smelly, blind, poor and hysterical. The next bookable flights are in May! (This was written on Sunday April 18th) But may have a stroke of luck, as someone we met in the Bahamas is trapped here too with his family and has chartered a private jet for tomorrow flying to the closest available airport and he's offered to take us with him. What a star.
Mandy update (abridged)
Plane held till 3pm tomorrow and we're hoping for a miracle. Anyway off to meet the private jet people to buy them loads of drinks on the roof top bar. Let's hope the HRT doesn't wear off and they find out what I'm really like!
She got home in the private jet. Let's hope they don't receive the bill.
