I'm one of the stranded crew and things couldn't have gone worse!
I have a year and a half old boy home in the UK and he's with my in-laws because his dad is stuck in SFO! First trip coming back from maternity leave and I get a good trip down to SIN and SYD. I didn't like the idea of going away for over a week but my OH said everything would be fine and we always have Skype and webcam to use.. He actually talked me into it so I went anyway. My OH went on a trip Wednesday and I was meant to come around a day later but been stuck here for since end of last week and been away for almost 2 weeks in total!
Thought to you all out there!
