Iceland - here we come...

After a bit of a break at home in Toronto, I am off again.  This time to Iceland.  I am travelling this time with my friend Lesley.  We previously conquered Costa Rica together so now off to another island adventure.   I'm told the temperatures are a bit different... ;)

I found it much more difficult to pack for this trip (temps in the 30s in Toronto today and it definitely is not that hot in Iceland)- we have had lots of advice on climate which I understand can change in the blink of an eye from sunny and warm to windy, rainy and cold.   So layers it is with rain/wind coat, rain pants and good comfortable footwear - sounds sexy eh?

Upon realizing that we booked a flight out on the Friday night of a long weekend in Canada and concerned about all those people trying to get out of the city - I called for a taxi with lots of time - of course Murphy was laughing at me and I encounterd no real traffic and zipped to the airport in no time.  So, here I sit - watching the world go by - not really a hardship.   I am also amazed at the size of suitcases - wow - how do they lift them and it seems the smallest people have the biggest bags!! fascinating...

So, I hope to post about our travels and adventures in Iceland and of course include photos. (pending wifi availability)  Stay tuned...
