Jess in Ireland: Volcanic Ash

Luckily I really haven't been affected in any way by the volcanic ash. So far the only way it has affected me personally is a package I expected to receive over a week ago hasn't come in yet.

Unfortunately, that is not the case for two of my roommates. Traveling to Rome, Venice, Florence, Barcelona, Sevilla and a few other locations they have been trapped in Barcelona for over a week! They expected to end their Spring Break on Thursday last week, unfortunately, flights started getting canceled due to the volcano erupting in Iceland and the ash finally making its way to the UK. Flights are still not going through so they decided to spend the money and take multiple buses and a few ferries. It cost them almost $500 to get home from their Spring Break! I think if it was me I would have decided just to chill out in whatever city I was in until the flights were back up and running but, I also have finish all of my finals until May 5th. So they isn't any really pressure for me to be in Galway.

Well they just got home and I am sure they love that they are back in their own beds again.
