Iceland has always been a big bucket list item for me and with it so close to Scotland and cheap non-stop flights from Glasgow I decided it was a must while I'm living on this side of the pond. When the group of fellow Americans and I got together to see if our bucket lists overlap it was obvious that Iceland was on several peoples lists. So it was decided that we would see if we couldn't get a group together to explore this amazing ever expanding island.
Jon, Julia and I all agreed that we wanted to go and that we had the vacation days to make it happen. So we started looking into the trip and very quickly booked it! Jon was only able to be on the trip for the first half and Julia and I spent 10 days exploring Iceland.
Iceland was a trip of many firsts for me. First time inside a
volcano. First time on a glacier. First time in a helicopter.
This was a trip of a lifetime and the 2000+ pictures I returned home with are proof of that. I have managed to narrow it down to just over 1400 photos, but it is a trip of a lifetime that the memories won't fade quickly from.
