About 15 years ago there was another eruption in Iceland and it halted air travel in Europe for weeks. My wife was visiting England at the time, staying with relatives so she got to extend her vacation. It worked out well for her, probably not so well for people who had to pay for a few week’s worth of extra hotels and food.
She was lucky then.....Iceland ..a place I need to look closer at. I’ve been spending a lot of time Internet traveling to world countries and loving the discoveries I never realized. Fun to look at and learn but I’m a 100% stay in the good ol USA person.....no place like home!
