Eyjafjallajokull eruption

To all,

So Eyjafjallajokull voclano erupted explosively on April 14th 2010, and continues to produce a volcanic ash cloud that is affecting major parts of Europe.

As i write this, I am currently waiting to see if my flight back to Alaska via Seattle is due to fly tomorrow. I'm sat in London and awaiting news....

Cheers

Peter
