ZOOM-TASTIC!!

This isn't so much as an update than an FYI and gripe session. We'll post more about the remainder of our trip when it's more appropriate!

So, last night (quite late) we learned of the grounding of all Zoom Airline flights and their inevitable filing for bankruptcy. Guess who we were to fly back to Toronto with? No ideas?? Not even a clue??? Well then ....

Currently we're just packing up at our last hostel in Rome, and waiting for the business world in Toronto to wake up so we can call Travel Cuts (where we booked the flight initially), and see what our travel/cancellation insurance can do for us, and try to figure out when and how we are going to get home. It's a bit of a shock, and we're still staggered by the news, but - all things considered - there are worse places than Belfast to be stranded. Kelly's relatives will assuredly take golden care of us until things are all sorted!

That's all for now folks!
