Weeding Books

A common dilemma. Weeding books into compost. Read a good account in PhillyBurbs.

Icelandic Interruptions

These sites are handy if you want to avoid Volcanic Stress.  The NY Times tracked airport status during the April event but the last post was on April 22.  Perhaps they will use the same link the next time Eyjafjallajökull erupts.

The Met Office in the UK has a great page, Volcanic Ash Advisory from London, with updated projections.  Refresh this link once you get to the page for the latest updates. This was very helpful during the eruption in April when flights were canceled because it was apparent that Ireland and most of Europe were affected.

If you are traveling to Ireland, like I was (more aptly, wasn't) The Irish Aviation Authority had updates all along the way.  News that their air space was closed was online BEFORE my Delta flight was canceled.

We found that the airlines website was the last place to go ... and the last place to call.  Check the Aviation Authority in the country you are traveling to ... perhaps you'll get some information like I did to prepare you for the shock of the canceled flight.



Flights resume!
