We're Going Home

Up bright and early so that we could have breakfast at the airport lounge. A bit drizzly but not too bad. Said our goodbyes to Halla's great little apartment which served us very well. My friend, the orange cat down the street, came by to say farewell also. 

What a pleasure having the car to go to the airport this morning. No schlepping the baggage to buses and trains. Dropped the car off in the designated lot, checked in and we are now sitting in the Icelandair Lounge. I have to say this lounge is a bit of a disappointment compared to the others on this trip. The breakfast is minimal, much to our dismay. Lots of pastry and meats. Geoff went out to buy some yogurt. Also came back with a wonderful gift for me - Blue Lagoon Body Lotion. I have had my eye on that stuff all week. He used the last of the Kronur, Euros, and maybe even threw in some British Sterling!

At least it is quiet and calm in here and they have wifi. Got some great emails this morning - little grandbaby Talia is now walking. Deidre had a nice stay at our house at the beach. The other grandkids, Mia and Evan, are enjoying their postcards from our journeys. BTW, they are the only ones we send postcards to (with one exception and you know who you are) - so don't feel left out - it just gets to be too much to do it for everyone. Figure it is a good learning tool for the kids. Also heard from our Iceland hostess, Halla. We were her first Airbnb guests - we gave her a few pointers and things to add to the apartment. But, overall, it is really a great spot and very private, and Halla and Bjorn could not have been more helpful.

So we say goodbye to Iceland. It was great. Renting the car was the best idea and you don't even have to drive in the dark. You just go until you are exhausted!! Just like Alaska. 

Almost boarding time.

Next time...Home, Sweet, Home
