Not knowing much about Iceland, we booked only a week there. In retrospect it should have been at least two or three. We had a blast every day, thanking ourselves for getting a car, but the single best thing we did in Iceland was the day we spent hiking up to and sitting/soaking in the Reykjadalur river.

Japan didn’t quite make the ‘list’ when we initially planned our trip, but as we inched closer to it, we knew we couldn’t skip it. The Japan travel bug was planted long ago by our friend Gail Tatabe and she even gifted us some Japanese currency before we left home. We couldn’t bring that back home now, could we? 😉 … Read More
