My brother is studying abroad in London and my parents have been planning a trip to visit him for months. They are supposed to fly out tomorrow, but now all of the flights are getting canceled, so they have no idea what's going to happen.

I just talked to my mom and she's sort of nervous about flying now even if the flight isn't cancelled. Just because no one can really predict what's going to happen, I guess.

Has anyone else had to change travel plans? How are you dealing with it?

I'm affected in a really indirect way - we tried to book our honeymoon train travel today (away in ten days) and the websites were too busy to cope with it because everyone is turning to rail instead!

My friend just told me his mum is stuck in London, and he might have to drive down to get her - it's about 13 hours.

My husband is stranded in London. He was supposed to come home tonight but now he said he won't be home until Sunday at the earliest. :(

I feel so bad for anyone who was traveling abroad this week! It'd be so sucky to get stuck for an indefinite amount of time!
