Ash Chaos

After four rebookings, masses of uncertainty and even a coming to terms with the fact that we might not even go to South Africa at all, we've finally secured a flight (that is actually scheduled to leave) for tonight. I'll spare you my opinion on the whole ash cloud thing, except to say that I'm not amused that it is a policy change rather than environmental.

It's weird though, because the part of my brain that usually gets excited about travelling seems to have been beaten to death by the constant on and off status of the trip as a whole. So in some ways I'm not even expecting tonight's flight to go. It's not that I'm trying not to get too excited, it's more that I don't seem able to care.

Still, I'm sure it'll wear off if we do fly.
