I put my location as 'Reykjavik" for this blog, although we are home in Costa Mesa very safe. We picked up Winnie from daycare, and she got a bath, smells wonderful, and is happy to be home. She enjoys her stuffed puffin souvenir we got her very much. I first need to tell you about the craziness at the airport! We had a layover in London again, not the most efficient way to get home, but it was a cheap ticket, so we are we to complain. Our flight left Iceland mo...

And here we are. Our last day in this magical country. We booked this trip back in January and never thought it would get here, and now it is almost over. We had a great last day. This morning at breakfast, all of us were still on a high from seeing the amazing Northern Lights display last night. We hit the road early enough to get to our one and only stop before heading back to Reykjavik - the Seljalandsfoss Waterfall. We were one of the first people there thi...

And I thought the photo album I posted from yesterday would have the most pictures. Looks like today beat it! We have got to be the luckiest tourists that ever toured Iceland.

But we couldn't see that at night, and as you can s...

So this morning we started early. It always seems so much earlier than it is, like 3 in the morning to something because it is still so dark out. But, we left at about 8:30am. Breakfast was really good, I shared photos of all the different breakfast options. Very fancy as far as 'Continental" style is concerned. This place was cool too, because in the shared room where we hung out and waited for the Northern Lights, there was a wipe off board where you could put ...

Today we left our hotel in Reykjavik and began our tour. The other three people that were supposed to join our group did not ever check into the Hotel, so did not make the tour. So that means it is onlu 8 of us plus the guide, Karl. And, Jaime is the only guy! Well, except for our guide. Breakfast was included with this hotel as well, so we got up, enjoyed some food, and got on our shuttle to begin. We left about 9am, and it was still dark at that time. The dark...
