Delayed

Yes, for those living under a rock, inside a cave, trekking to the south pole, or any other place that puts you at distance from the modern world, there has been an ash cloud causing havoc with airlines all over the southern hemisphere, lucky me has been caught up in it, not literally, but the chaos that has ensued.

So the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle eruption has been spewing ash into the atmosphere since June 4, as far as I know, it's still going and apparently it's about to have a big eruption, there is already a 50 meter wide lava river working its way out. So this ash cloud has circled the globe already, has caused widespread flight cancellations and delays, not once but twice now as it came back. For Australia, all flights are back up, however flights to and from New Zealand are cancelled until what seems like Sunday night, but it seriously changes every hour. As a result, I am still on the Gold Coast, Australia when I am meant to be in Queenstown, New Zealand.

Nothing I can do, I would rather be happy than alive, although, there are some seriously whacked people on facebook, some going as far to accuse the airlines of delaying and cancelling flights just to "piss us off", yeah... righto, whatever helps them sleep at night. While this is a pain, I can't do anything except wait, I feel like I am in limbo, at least one posative so far is I got to order some new Coldplay stuff, other than that, if the flight gets delayed again, we will cancel the trip.
