Hallo from Iceland

This is just a quick update to let everyone know we have arived in Iceland.

We were projected to depart fro New York's JFK Airport at 8:25 PM on Friday, but we were delayed by an excessive backup on the cue to take off. We finally took off at 10:00 PM.

The flight was uneventful. We sat in an exit row, so we had a little extra leg room on the flight. Marco got busy with meeting people and had a great time on the flight. Before we knew it, he was flirting with one of the flight attendants and earned his wings. The attached photo shows Marco right after Christiana gave him his wings.

We arrived in Keflavick at 7:00 AM on Saturday morning. The temperature when we landed was a sweltering 9 degrees C or 48 degrees F. The skies are cloudy and nice and cool. I know you guys in Kuwait have already had 48 degree days, but your 48 degrees was in Celsius.

We grabbed the backpacks and jumped on the bus to bring us to Reykjavik. On the bus ride, we passed some pretty interesting geological landforms. Extensive lava fields with signs of continued uplifting. After arriving at the BSI terminal, we headed up the hill to take the bus to our guesthouse in downtown. The bus ride was short. We checked into Guesthouse 101. Jack was extremely helpful upon check-in. He invited us to the breakfast area while our room was being prepared. We sat down and had coffee and tea and Jack showed us a few of the key bus routes to get us around town.

As soon as wepost his update, Lynne and I will walk around the corner, jump on the number 14 bus and head to Laugardalslag (Lauger Pool). This the largest pool in Reykjavik. It features geothermal heated water, indoor and outdoor pools, hot pots, sauna and steam room. I'll post an update later.

Anna, our phone does not work here, but once we hit mainland Europe, we will pick up a SIM card for the phone.

Great hearing that you guys are now in Iceland. The hot baths sound wonderful! Looking forward to your next input.

Glad you made it safety. I'm sure the cooler weather is better than the hot climate that was starting to set in.
