Delayed Thanks toi the Volcano

Well we made it to the airport. However our plane is 3 to 4 hours late thanks to the Icelandic volcano. So far all I know about Iceland is that is was founded by Eric the Red who was kicked out of Sweden,they drink a lot of vodka , it is bankrupt and it has a big stupid volcano my suggestion is that it sinks into the ocean and be done with them.
Our driver Michell know how to get to JFK fast and also knew how to tail gate, it was a fun ride with Gail grabbing my hand every ten minutes.
We are now sitting in the Delta lounge, which is nice, and drinking wine and watching the Players Golf Championship. I think I will take a nap, just like home.
Things could be worse, this way we can sleep on the plane, thanks to Denny and his ambien ,and get into Rome refreshed and ready to go. Tim

Okay everything Tim said was right on target! I am nervous about flying and worried about sleeping and now I am worried about when we are leaving. Boy do I love traveling!!
Happy Mother's Day to all our wonderful friends and family who are the most excellent mothers ever!!
We packed everything we needed to pack except I forgot a spare pair of contacts, so I am checking on mail options to have them sent to me, just in case... You never know!
We have lists of places to visit a mile long, thanks to lots of reading and lots of friends commenting. We packed light, only one small bag each and Tim has a great Rick Steves backpack (Thanks Niki & Rich!!) with reading material and our netbook. Hope to continue writing hopefully from Rome Italy and not having to spend the whole week in the Delta sky lounge. Thanks for listening! Stay tuned.
Gail & Tim
