I’ve been talking about for ages.\u00a0 I have been planning for even longer (2 years to be exact).<\/p>\n
One month from today Pat and I will be in Iceland.\u00a0 It doesn’t seem like it can possibly be true.\u00a0 It’s been so far away for so long.<\/p>\n
We’ve gotten passports.\u00a0 We’ve booked flights and and a hotel.\u00a0 We’ve booked day trips.\u00a0 We’ve quizzed friends who have been to Iceland.\u00a0 I tried to learn Icelandic but that didn’t go very well.\u00a0 Thankfully, everyone there speaks English.\u00a0 And I AM going to commit a few simple phrases – like “where is the bathroom?”\u00a0 – to memory.\u00a0 I’ve started getting videos in my social media of a Icelandic comedian.<\/p>\n
The month of August is going to fly by.\u00a0 \u00a0I’m going to see comedian Maria Bamford, going to the Minnesota State Fair and taking in a Weird All concert, and I have a evening cruise work event, and I have a work trip to the East Coast.<\/p>\n
But Iceland will be on my mind the entire time.\u00a0 Squeee!!<\/p>\n
