At this point, we're keeping an eye on the ash cloud from Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kuh-duhl) volcano. Initially, we were thinking about heading to Paris this week. Glad that we decided to go a little later. It's kind of funny that I regularly use the phrase "when the dust settles" and this time I mean it quite literally.
For the first time ever, I bought travel insurance. It was a tough decision. When I thought about the duration of this trip and the added potential for some kind of problem, I finally decided to bite the bullet and get the insurance. Volcanic ash never crossed my mind as a possible trip interruption scenario. What's next, meteors? Aliens?
My wonderfully optimistic husband is looking forward to spectacular sunsets over Paris. As I always say, when you can't be lucky, be adaptable. Many years of project management have instilled the need to always have a fallback plan. At this point, we're proceeding with our trip prep, staging and packing. We'll see how things develop this week and adjust our plans as needed when the dust settles.
