Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

On Aug. 2-8 we will be off traveling with our seniors.

We are looking forward to our tour of Iceland as we pack our bags and make sure that we have our passports.  

We will be loading at 2:15 p.m. and departing at 2:30 p.m. for the Twin Cities to board our flight. The trip will be a five hour time difference. We can expect Iceland to be full of surprises. For one, it isn’t an ice country. We will in fact, experience views of stunning scenery with beautiful coastal lakes, spouting geysers, hot springs and mud pools. 

A remarkable life-enriching experience will be our visit to the Blue Lagoon, a lake of warm, mineral rich geothermal water. It’s renowned for its healing prowess. Located in the middle of a lava field, it promises to be a warm relaxing experience.  

Summer is closing in on us so quickly, and folks are choosing to make travel plans to leave these warm summer days behind.
