While we were at the Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, we had a message for my daughter to call her local newspaper as they wanted to do a news article about Sydney and her family being stranded in Europe because of the volcano in Iceland.. One of Sydney's classmates mentioned that she was in The Netherlands to the reporter. The reporter, Laura Mead called Sydney's mom and asked that we call to do an interview.
Since we had "Gratis WiFi" at the airport, we were able to contact Laura by phone using "MagicJack" - an USB dongle that makes phone calls over the internet (VOIP - voice over internet protocol). We called, but were not able to talk to Laura, but she called us back later that day - this was on Tuesday, April 20th. Sydney talked to her first and then I talked to her afterwards and was asked some questions from a pilot standpoint.
After we returned home, Laura left a message, wanting to know the ending to our story - I returned her call and stated "We are home!!!!"
