Icelands Volcano

In case you had not heard about the news today, a volcano has erupted in Iceland and the ash has halted flights across Europe. Yep, that includes Germany! So as excited as we were about Kenny coming home, it seems that just might not happen. The volcanic ash cloud, floating miles above Earth is capable of knocking out jet engines and has wrecked travel plans for tens of thousands of people. It has traveled over six continents and is the biggest flight disruption since 9/11. Officials said it could take days for the skies to become safe again in one of aviation's most congested areas. So with all of that said, Kenny, and two others traveling with him are going to possibly take a train as far south as they can and hopefully catch a flight out of another airport. So keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer for all of the people trying to travel. It has to be frustrating, especially if they were looking forward to going home or going on vacation.
