Back in 2014, I decided to keep a journal of my trip over the pond. Lest I forget, I will upload it here.

Iceland & Beyond
My dad said that I should “blog” about my travels which begin today. Sounded like a good idea, except that I won’t be taking my computer with me. I will have my Kindle Fire, however, so I will make every attempt to keep updating this blog.
Barb and I will fly out of Iron Mountain, Lord willing, at 11:30 today. There are thunderstorms in the area, but we are hopeful that we can easily catch the 7:30 p.m. flight on IcelandAir. We will meet up with two ladies, Fran (75) and Mary Lou (80), who were so eager to travel to Iceland and the Faroes that we just didn’t have the heart to cancel our “Knitters’ Trip” this year. Besides, Barb and I absolutely love this part of the world and look for every excuse to return. It’s safe, other-worldly, mystical, magical, and . . . full of sheep. That means there is lots of great wool to inspire those of us who love to knit.
The flight will take 6 hours from Minneapolis and we arrive at 6:30 a.m. (GMT) ready and raring to go. First stop is the Fosshotel Lind, maybe a 30 minute repose, and we are off to find breakfast and explore Reykjavik.
