So, the day has come, where the prospect of going abroad on holiday, whilst a volcano is erupting in Iceland, becomes a choice between a package holiday and no flights.

2) Due to volcanoes I cannot fly (well, I am not happy about the risk of getting stuck somewhere with no means to get home!)

5) Due to life choices I am single, and therefore have no dedicated driver
WHAT ON EARTH WILL I DO THIS YEAR FOR MY HOLIDAYS???
