24 Hours to Iceland
August 20th, 2008 by Jeff Simmermon
In exactly 24 hours, Driller David and I will be aboard a plane flying to Reykjavik, where we’ll be taking a much-needed vacation. We’re spending a few nights in Reykjavik, taking this pub crawl that I’ve heard so much about, then the plan sorta peters out.
All we really know after that is that we’re renting a car and taking it to Jokulsarlon, where we’ll go kayaking among icebergs and seals. Here’s a photo, click to make it MUCH larger:
I can’t wait. If any of you guys happen to live in Iceland, reach out — let’s bend an elbow.

Oh man, you have to try that infamous Icelandic shark. Here’s a video on it:

Have fun. It’s one of the many, many places I haven’t been but would love to see.
Why am I not independently wealthy?

Iceland is amazing. Horseback riding on the beach is a fun thing to do there. For relaxation, the Blue Lagoon is interesting. It’s fairly close to the airport.

Sounds like a really awesome trip. I like the sound of kayaking and bending the elbows! Have fun. Just found your blog and am really enjoying the archives etc.
Cheers,
