Feeling completely relaxed after enjoying an amazing afternoon at the Blue Lagoon, we made our way back to our hotel, CenterHotel Þingholt to continue our 24 hours in Reykjavik. As it was now dark outside, I admit this pic doesn’t do the statues any justice, but I love how they are dressed up for Christmas… Read More
After our short stay in the Virgin Atlantic lounge at Boston Logan International Airport, we were ready to board our plane to Iceland.

Pastry case at Café de Paris Hungry? Well, if you’re not now, you will be when you finish reading this post. Besides the pristine white beach, the pools, and the great service, the food at Sandals Whitehouse was so good and was readily available throughout the day and my entire stay.
