Today we finally saw our first glacier of the trip. It was Becci’s first glacier ever. She was pumped. When we arrived last night we could kind of see the glacier in the twilight. An edge of it was peeking in under the clouds, broad and thick between […]
With the sudden realization that we had just passed the halfway mark on our trip, we needed to hoof it down the road a little faster to keep on schedule. It was lovely staying three full days in one area, but it was time to move on to […]
Everything we did today smelled bad. It was all fun, and I’m glad we did it…but it stank. We sorta knew it would. Let me back up a bit. We may have mentioned that we stayed for the last couple of days in a room we rented from […]
We have arrived in the North! We are enjoying incredibly mild weather for the time of year…breezy (very breezy), intermittent sunshine and only a dusting of snow on the mountain tops. We’ve spent the last couple of days hitting some amazing Icelandic highlights such as whales, waterfalls, and […]

For the next two weeks we will be driving around Iceland, loosely following the island’s main road, Route 1. The ‘Ring road’ makes an 840 mile loop around the main land, with many diversions lurking around every corner. The first couple of days, we are leaving the ring […]
We were very focused and responsible tourists on our first full day in Reykjavík…which could only mean trouble was around the bend. For the next two days we managed to drink, see a lot of penises and have dinner with my parents to round it out. There’s no […]
Back in the Saddle Have you missed us? We’re back. We sure missed you. And we missed the road. This time around we are visiting the land of fire and ice. But it wasn’t Game of Thrones that inspired this trip; rather, we were first inspired to visit […]
Hello again, lovely people! We are pulling the bags out of the attic and hitting the road again. Alas, not for 365 days this time, rather a nice long trip to Iceland for 18 days. Fire and Ice! Elves and Trolls! 4X4s and Nervous Passenger Braking! John and […]
