Virgin Atlantic just got everyone back to where they needed to be today, Friday 4-30. They have been really busy in the wake of the volcano.

Once we have heard from everyone we will email again and revise this page.

Option 2
===Since Option 1 may be too expensive, we have cut one day from the trip. We have cut 1 night in London, a half-day tour and the meal at the Hard Rock Cafe. We have added a night in York and cut a night in Edinburgh. This was done to try and maximize our time in London and preserve our time in Edinburgh. We have a proposed new itinerary, that is subject to change, and it is here for you to look at. The change in cost is due to traveling during the high season instead of the shoulder season less the savings from the changes above. Since we are essentially moving all of our arrangements forward to a new date there are no penalties. ===

Theatre Tickets
===I was able to exchange everyone's theatre tickets for the dates listed in the new itinerary. The cost was 10% of the ticket price. This was only because of the volcano and the willingness of the theatres to work with we delayed travelers. There was no refund available, only to reschedule.===

Additional travelers
===If you know of anyone who may like to join us we can take several more folks with us. We are currently a group of 31, if we become a group of 33 there would be a price decrease per person that would likely cover most of the $116 increase fee. If there are folks in our group who drop we can take others in their place. So, if you know of anyone, talk it over with them and this could be a way to keep our cost down. (We already have several parents traveling so please feel let your folks know they would be welcome.)===

The penalties are due to actually canceling our arrangements rather than rescheduling them. For those with insurance I am sending an email (on 4-30) with the details of how to make a claim.
