The smoke monster had us trapped on the island
Toward the end of our honeymoon, the volcano at Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland was spewing out its ash cloud that closed up European airports. The UK airports were closed on the 15th, and we were supposed to leave on the 17th. We were stuck. We stayed in Edinburgh for several more days, where Bill worked remotely from the hotel while I wandered the city and drew some more.
Eventually the airports were reopening, and we managed, at about 10pm on the 21st, to switch to a flight out of Heathrow at 6pm on the 22nd. That was a very long day of train rides and plane rides and car rides but after 24 hours of awakeness, Linus was able to lick Bill's beard and everything was right in the world.
