I'm sure the city of brotherly love is wonderful, but I do not want to be here any longer.
I'm spending so much money on food and accommodation because this volcano is "an act of God," that it's ridiculous. I can't keep staying at hotels and spending $20 for every meal.
I have yest another flight to Paris this evening, but first a flight to Chicago in the morning. Paris says their airspace closure is going to last until 2 PM Eastern time today, but with every other country extending their closure, I'm assuming France will too and thus I will be stranded in Chicago.
I would just ditch this whole trip but;
1. I have spent a lot of money and time in lines here, and for that to be all in vain...?
2. I have non-refundable airplane tickets, lodging, etc for the next month and a half totaling somewhere in the neighborhood of $600+, and , my one way plane ticket home [can't change it! That's why I get things cheap!] which cost around $330.
3. Annie is supposed to meet me in Europe mid May, and has never 'traveled' traveled before, doesn't speak other languages, and would be totally lost in foreign countries without me. This is probably the main reason that I HAVE to go.
So what do I do? Change my booking on the pretense that my flight tonight will be canceled? If so, do I go to Europe in a day or two and wait it out, or do I fly back to LA for a week or two and hope things clear up for the better?
I have no idea. It's an unpredictable crapshoot.
I hope this isn't like the 1800's where this volcano erupted for two years; I really can't afford to stay in Philly that long....

Ah that totally sucks. A friend of mine is also stuck on her way to London. Although she is in Seoul and her insurance company is paying for everything. I found that kind of weird considering when I asked about getting my wisdom teeth removed here they said it was a ''pre-existing condition, a ticking timebomb''. Idiots. I say we scam them bad. But I hope you end up getting to where you're going, I just don't understand why they can't fly lower...If all is lost you can always do one of those ''cargo cruises''. Just chill on a cargo ship, it would be the fastest way to London since 1912. I think it takes around two weeks. Anyways take care, stay clean and I'm crossing my fingers and holding my thumbs for you. //Jarrad
