Heading home for a week for the graduation looking forward to meeting family and friends. Managed to get a week off which was very decent of the CEO and school, especially so soon after Easter holidays. A little bit of pandemonium in Melblourne Airport due to the volcanic ash over Europe. Uncertainity over flights, all flights to the UK and some other European destinations cancelled. The first leg of my flight was good to go. Many decided to stay in Melbourne but the next flight out of there for me, is on Friday next, apparently. I chose to come as far as Abu Dhabi and if the worst comes to the worst I can walk from there!
When I arrived in Abu Dhabi my flight still has not been cancelled. It was delayed by an hour and a half. It is very difficult as Dublin airport is open but the airspace is the problem. The flight here was fine and on time but about a third empty. No screaming kids! I slept about seven times, woke, read for a while and slept again... I have a headache. Not stressed though as I do not have any control over the situation. Got friendly with a few people (that's Lorraine-Ardee and Jed-Melbourne in the photo) as we are all sharing information. Pity my schedule is so tight.
