#1 Next year I'll be sure to book my holidays wisely . I have a number of friends stranded round the world at the moment. Most are very happy for the extended holiday . As one so eloquently put it ... "Mojitos all round , we could be stuck next to the beach for a year or more!"

#3 That's odd. You would think that the vast majority of the cloud would head East, towards Russia, rather than West.

The distance is only 1600 miles or so, which probably explains some of it.

I'm wondering about how much ash will get into the Polar Jet Stream, because like with Strontium-90 from atmospheric nuclear tests, the Jet Stream tends to dump a lot of its particulates over middle America.

#4 Our Estonian airspace is still closed to landing or taking off, but you can fly over.
Many European governments, after test flights, are starting to decide that they overreacted, and the ash is dispersed enough not to be a huge threat.
