My best friend and I made a commitment during the pandemic to prioritize our time together. It can be very tough throughout the year to get together since we are two hours apart and we have opposite schedules. We wanted to get back into our routine of seeing each other every two months and to plan an all out getaway at least every other year. Iceland has always been on both our “Dream Trip Lists.” COVID-19 has created lots of complications surrounding travel; for instance some borders are closed, mandatory testing and isolation and moratoriums on unnecessary travel. Who knows when we will be able to take this trip, but it is still fun to dream!
For this trip we will need to rent a car to cover as much ground as possible. We also love jam packed high intensity itineraries!
Our tentative plans for our trip are…
- Blue Lagoon
-Premium experience complete with entrance to the Blue Lagoon, masks, drinks, robe & slippers and a reservation at the Lava Restaurant - Westman Island
