It doesn't look good for flying out on Saturday. The volcanic ash plume is moving in the wrong direction; Dublin airport was supposed to open for flights this morning at 5 am but remains closed until Wednesday at 1pm. Weekend weather very uncertain. I'll keep you all posted!

Email from Monday, April 19, 2010:
Hi all,
I've rescheduled my flights... I'll now arrive next Saturday 24th April, return to Ireland on Friday 30th April. I know it's only 6 (SIX!) days but it's the best I can do without completely messing up schedules at work. And it saves a week of vacation time for me to spend later, maybe in the autumn (Thanksgiving again?).
The weather report predicts a shift in the wind, taking the ash plume south and east by Thursday this week so transatlantic flights should be ok.
Joe, can you still pick me up at Detroit airport?
Love you all, see you soon!!
Theresa

The Icelandic volcano is still spewing ash into the air in a massive plume that has disrupted air traffic across Europe and shows little sign of letting up, officials said on Friday.
