Iceland Glacier Hike and Runtur Hike | November 20, 2009

You know the saying “When in Rome…do as the Romans?” Well, the same goes for Iceland, “When in Iceland…do a glacier hike!” My friend Laura is definitely the adventurous type and suggested that we go on a glacier hike in Iceland. I agreed thinking, how hard could it be, right? She told me it would be a 2 out of a 5…boy, was I in for a shock! In the end, I’m glad we did it, but only because I made it down unscathed!.Our day started at 9:30am. We signed up to go with a tour group called Arctic Adventures. … Read More »

For every destination, there is always a to-do list of things you should see and experience while jet setting. In Iceland, two of those things include an outdoor bath at one of Reykjavik’s geothermal pools, and a drive to the Golden Circle. That’s how we planned to spend our second day in this beautiful country. We hired a local taxi to drive us around for eight hours. Since there were four of us, the cost was about $200USD per couple.11AM- We headed to Laugardalslaug Pool- Reykjavik’s biggest pool, and also the largest pool in Iceland.

Eating Our Way Through Iceland on Day 1 | November 15, 2009

Icelandic cuisine is fresh and delicious – locally caught fish and free roaming lamb are common dishes that are always great. You can also find interesting delicacies like puffin, wild goose and rotten shark. But Icelanders like their fast food too – so you can definitely get your fix of hot dogs, hamburgers and pizza. Our first meal was at Prikid Restaurant on Laugevegar- the main shopping and culture street.Inside, it looks like a bar downstairs, and in fact at night that’s exactly what it turns into.Just head upstairs for a table and you will be sitting right … Read More »

Iceland Here We Come | November 13, 2009

The thing about Iceland which I cannot stress enough is that it’s so close! It’s a destination that you could certainly jet set to for a week or two, but you can also plan it as an easy long weekend trip. We left on a Tuesday night and got back that Sunday night and felt that we had a really good feel for the city by that time. Icelandair out of JFK will take you there direct where you will land in Keflavik airport in Iceland. The time there is +5 hours this time of year. Note: Iceland … Read More »

Embracing the Essence of Italy | November 8, 2009

“I came, I saw, I crawled” is embroidered on one of my Italian tee-shirts – and for good reason. In Italy, I hit the tarmac running, knowing that a lifetime is not enough to see the art, savor the food, and soak up the history; yet determined to encrust my slice of Italy with every facet of fun.

This year, while planning to cram Sorrento into Rome — after all, it is just a day trip by train — I thought about vacation and what it means to me. New vistas, yes; exhaustion, no. Leisurely dining is lauded, but who in … Read More »
