Yes, people are being thrown off schedule and needing to re-route (I have friends in the same boat); but, this is a small inconvenience in the grand scheme of life...

I remember when el Reventador erupted while living in Ecuador and not being able to fly back to Quito from Caracas. Ended up staying in Bogota and eventually flying into Guayaquil and taking a bus in the middle of the night from there to Quito with an Otavalan woman I met along the way. Her husband picked us up and it was like we entered a sci-fi film: everything was coated with grayish ash/ceniza (which was still floating in the air) and we had to wear masks and cover ourselves if we went outside. To top it off, we had a week's worth of "volcano days" from school! I am like Robert and am fascinated by volcanoes.
