Breakfast at Two Cats in Bar Harbor… DELICIOUS! Hiking in Acadia NP to The Beehive, Mt. Gorham, Cadillac Cliffs and the coastal trail… AMAZING!

Arrived yesterday and today is Friday… Alex is working remotely. We went out for breakfast take out and ate it while watching the city folks go by. Sarah arrived later around noon. At 3 we were packed and ready to go to Acadia! Traffic was a bear! We finally arrived at the campground in theContinue reading “Exploring Boston”

On my way to Boston today to pick up my kids for a camping adventure at Acadia NP. Stopped by to see my 101 year old mother in law in MD. She’s amazing!

Final full day here. Volcano hike and Geothermal wonderland tour on the Reykjanes peninsula. Then happened upon a benefit pre concert for Ukraine at the most amazing concert hall here in Reykjavik, the Harpa.

Images from today’s tour to the South coast below Reykjavik. Spectacular!

Good day friends! It’s raining today and no tours are scheduled, so a good time to share yesterday’s excursion on the Golden Circle. This route is considered the baseline tour from Reykjavik to experience volcanos, glaciers, waterfalls and thermal pools. The highlight of this tour was our guide, Howser.

However, the sun was shining (somewhat of a rarity here) so proceeded to meet up for a free (tip what you want) city tour. Our guide was quiteContinue reading “First day sightseeing in Reykjavik”

Northern Lights update! As I said in my last post, when I arrived on Sunday, the skies were clear. The forecast for the week looked progressively worse, so my best shot to see the elusive aurora borealis would be tonight. I canceled my Tuesday tour and booked a tour aboard a super yacht going outContinue reading “Finally… I see the northern lights!”

Quite a travel day… up at three am and out the door at four. Traffic jam on I-26 to the airport only added to the excitement! Navigating the Boston transit system to arrive at my son Alex’s place at 11. Pleasantly surprised to see my nephew Tom was still here, who I had not seenContinue reading “Off to Boston and Iceland”
