Iceland, just not yet

So by now you may have guessed that we didn't go to Iceland...we have rescheduled for June because it will be easier to go then with an infant and a 2-year-old.  Right.

I still look forward to the trip, but I am more anxious about the miserable long flight and assured lack of sleep (or more lack of sleep - which does exist I think).  How do you adjust an inflexible toddler to a new sleeping schedule in 5 days and then switch her right back?  I think the answer is: you don't, you just try to cope.  Lots of lollipops and Clifford the Big Red Dog.  And Benadryl.  I kid!!  Sort of.

Fortunately, we have heard literally not one thing bad about Iceland so that keeps me going.  My friend Amy said that what she loves about Iceland is the wind and the isolation.  Yeah.  Way to sell it Amy!!  But really, she said there are so many great things about it, that we are bound to have a great time.  One thing is for sure, it will be an easier place to visit than Bangalore was.  No doubt.

So it looks like we are set to go to Iceland, Reykjavik to be exact, in the next couple of weeks.  I have no idea what to wear in 35 degree weather, or how to dress a toddler and an infant for the very cold (for all of you from Minnesota, 35 degrees is cold to us sensitive Californians...)

I am excited and apprehensive.  We have not traveled with either kid yet, Ivy went on road trips when she was much younger and there was a substantial amount of crying about being strapped into a car seat for hours on end.  A 10 hour plane ride should be fun!!

I've always wanted to see Iceland, so it should be an adventure, even if we don't get to do it up the way I'd like.  I will let you know if I see any elves or Bjork.
