Volcano-schmulcano!
Good grief! Ever since last Thursday… A week ago today, this bloody volcano has been the bane of my existence.
And, to think it’s located where my ancestors came from! Too bad I can’t go over to Iceland and kick it in it’s nether regions. Maybe one day.
Because of the volcano and flight upheavals, the skirt that is a part of my wedding dress has been MIA. Let me explain… The skirt needed to be altered, because when I tried it on over a month ago in Vancouver, it was too big. The designer sent it back to Vancouver, from London, last week. Sounds perfect, right?
Wrong.
Something went sideways in customs, and the skirt was sent back to the UK. Last Wednesday.
And, was I told about this mix-up? No! What is it with suppliers not returning phone calls? This is the fourth issue with wedding stuff… time sensitive stuff that I received no return call. This is after I called them four times before I received a return call. I wanted to yell, but I didn’t. Other suppliers lost my business because they simply didn’t pick up the phone and call me back.
And, in more volcano news — I guess I should be happy that the huge blow happened last week, and not this week. Our honeymoon would have been cancelled, without any way for us to get the money back.
Let’s all just keep our fingers and toes crossed, that it stays somewhat calm until we fly out to London a week Sunday. I don’t care if we get stuck over there… I want our honeymoon!!

We got the same problem here, but thankfully the airports now are back in business!
