So maybe doing a winter Euro-trip isn't the best idea... For the second year in a row, there have been airport closures and delays throughout Europe due to heavy snow. In fact, both Heathrow and Gatwick were closed today and will remain closed until at least Sunday. I am really starting to get worried - I hope that the snow will clear up by Christmas so I can meet my brother in Italy with no complications. If my flight gets cancelled, I may get a refund, but that is not the main issue; I do not want to leave my younger brother to fend for himself in a country where he doesn't speak the language... It would also be a nightmare with the hotel reservations, as I have already made reservations for each city on our trip (Rome, Florence, Paris).
