Volcano activity spoils conference

I was an invited speaker as the first DoD sponsored SOA Symposium last year and really enjoyed it. I got invited to this year's event and was going to speak on SOA and REST. I think it would have been as good as last year (will be as good as last year), but unfortunately a certain volcano in Iceland has meant that my flights have been canceled. So I'll have to watch from afar and hope that the troubles in the sky clear up soon. My best wishes go to the event organizers and I hope that next year presents an opportunity to attend for a second time.
