just heard on the radio that london airports will be open at 8 pm today.

pls check

 

It's all a few days too late :sneaky2:. But it's a good thing that things are progressing. Hopefully things will not take weeks or months (that's what the guy at Schiphol airport told us).

*bumps*

 

so what's the point if NOONE doing anything about it? :sneaky2:

 

OPEN THE DAMN AIRPORT! I have to get to the gig!!! :crybaby:

 

Well airspace is gradually opening up but they have to be careful. They don't want to risk 300 lives or all the money they would be sued for by the families if something does go wrong, and they're not to keen on getting their planes damaged, but it's just one of those 'wait and see' things.

 

 

And I got a text from BA. My flight is officially cancelled. Sad times.

 

But on the brightside, CALIFORNIAAAAAAAAA. CALIFORNIA HERE WE COME, RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM. CALIFORNIAAAAAA. :roftl:

Just try to stay chilled out. What will happen will happen, and hopefully it will have all cleared up by the time you need to travel, but if not, then unfortunately you'll have to miss out on Paris. If it does come to that, just think about the next gig, when Mika is coming to your HOME TOWN! That's gonna be amazing, and an extra bonus - no flying!!!

There are some problems now for us...financially speaking as the airlines don't want to refund. :boxed: that's A LOT of money for us...plus there is the hotel near Bercy that we've booked as flexi- which means that they're not refunding either and it was pretty damn expensive. :boxed: the tirp was already expensive enough for us and we've really questioned over the first months if it's really worth it, but now it's even worse..we wouldn't like to see that we've just thrown some money out the window...PLUS the gig tix.

 

Mum says that whatever happens it'll be for the best and we'll be fine.

 

If it happens to not go: at least we'll be alive trying to recover our wasted money.

 

If it happens to go...we won't be able to let go of the constant idea of: what happens next? What if the goddam volcano errupts again? :huh:

 

It is a real nightmare...I can't cope with this. I can't even get ready for the trip as I was supposed to.

 

I just came back from a bus agency and tried to get one from my hometown to Paris and there's none available this week. And for returning there are buses in Paris but you have to pay the ticket now to get a reserved seat. It costs just as much as the airplane ticket. The guy told us, however that we should stay calm as everthing will get back to normal by Sunday.

 

I really don't know what to think now as all the news I'm watching and the tweets are SOOO sceptical and everyone's talking but noone's doing anything and time passes quite quickly. So... :boxed:

 

Why should it be this way? :tears:
