Dear Readers:
Welcome to our family vacation blog, Three Months in Scotland. This is Sophia writing.
Tomorrow we will hopefully be heading out across the ocean to Scotland. Therefore, the house is one big packing/cleaning/mending frenzy. According to the long-standing plan, we would leave the house about 10 o'clock tomorrow and set out, by plane, by train, by bus and by taxi on a trip which would total about 24 hours.
That was the plan. But since the volcanic eruption, everything is a bit up in the air.
Mt. Eyjafjallajokull erupted this Thursday, sending plumes of volcanic ash which have disrupted all air travel to and from Europe. Airlines are saying that air travel will be disrupted at least until the 16th (today).

So for the moment, we have our fingers crossed that (1) our flight leaves as scheduled and (2) when it does leave, it goes straight through and we don't end up stranded in some airport somewhere.
Here is what we're hoping we won't be flying through:
I hope you guys get to fly - as long as it is safe! If you don't leave tomorrow - will you rename the blog? Two months and some odd days in Scotland?
