So anyone know folks stuck over there due to air traffic getting shut down?

My brother was in London on business and was due to come back last Friday.  Yesterday somehow he got to Spain, then to Madrid, then took a flight to South America somewhere, then is supposed to take a flight back to Houston this morning.  THat is one heck of a round about trip to get home!!!  I'm not sure how many days he's not slept, but probably quite a few!!

I wasn't stuck anywhere (thank God!!) but I was supposed to go to a workshop in Copenhagen that was canceled because everyone's flights were canceled. I am very thankful I was "stuck" at home, though, instead of away!! What your brother went through to come home sounds like a nightmare, LadyE!
