My feelings about the Iceland airport: Fuck. ... read more

BWI-Reykjavik: flight time 5 hours, 15 minutes Months back, the plan was to fly into Iceland and have a 9-hour layover. Scott felt it would give us the opportunity to leave the airport and see something of Reykjavik before we continued our trek east. This plan was changed after a frank discussion was had that highlighted Kat's preference for not making a long and complicated travel itinerary any longer or complicated than it needed to be. We had rearranged things so as to have a 2-hour layover. Of course, this was before we had a 5-hour delay coming out of BWI.

What a sight. We all enjoyed that spot. We had lunch at a little restaurant in a hotel at the site, and then wandered around the gift shop for a while. Then, it was time to get back on the bus and head to the Falls. It was a short stop, but a ... read more

Who could say no to the offer of a free weekend in Iceland when you're skint? While I was still without work I was watching every penny very closely, but Howard had an offer I couldn't refuse. A weekend in Iceland, all booked and paid for with a friend that couldn't make it, all I was up for was a name change fee and food when I got there! It was a Friday flight and a perfect day when I flew in and I was able to see across the whole island, snow everywhere as they had recently had a dump. Iceland isnt that close, and the airport isnt that close to the city either so all in all I was travelling for a solid day. I met Howard at the 5* apartment they had rented, ... read more
