The ice is melting...

Call it Spring Fever, call it Cabin Fever, call it whatever you'd like, but I have wanderlust. And the lust of late is Iceland. Yes, Iceland....the girl who loves nothing better than a tropical island with white sand beaches and palm trees wants to go to Reyjkavik.

Fact #1: Iceland is warmer than Greenland. Those darn Vikings had everyone fooled when they claimed and named the land.
Fact #2: Iceland is a volcanic island and filled with hot springs. Apparently you can pull over on the side o' the road and hop in for free!
Fact #3: The Northern Lights (need I say more?)
Fact #4: It has the world's longest lasting democracy and no need for an armed forces
Fact #5: It's cheap right now. And I live right now.

I'm not running away from anything this time....no, this time I'm running to somewhere. And more importantly, I want to take Dan and Lauren with me. I know that my friends, my family, my colleagues will all say that I take too many vacations as it is, and that I spend too much money travelling, but there is a big world out there, and I am one small human. The race is long and if I don't keep up the pace now, I won't finish it.
