Iceland Update

I talked with Brian again last night, as I do most nights, and tried to make more plans for our trip to Iceland, which we still haven't come up with a date for because we now have another coming with us (Brian's best friend) meaning we now have three schedules to work through. We have decided though that we'll be visiting and staying in Reykjavik, both the capital and largest city of Iceland. See? We have been researching. There's this great list I found on one of the Iceland websites about things to do in Iceland before you die... or turn 31. Brian and I had come up with a plan of our trip though that particular one has already been nixed. Incubus will be performing in Iceland sometime in March and there was a special package that included airfare, hotel, and a ticket to the concert. I would have loved to see the band again in concert and especially in a foreign country. I would be an international Incubus fan! But the package was only for two days and if we're going all the way to Iceland, we're staying more than two days. I'm really excited about this trip even if others think it's stupid. I already sense a best-selling short story coming out of this.

I Am an Adult

What timing. For my 250th post, I am finally admitting to myself that I am actually an adult and have the power to do whatever I want in my life. I was painting my fingernails black last night just because I felt like it and it just kind of hit me. I'm 22. I can do pretty much whatever I want within legal limits because it's my life. My friend Brian has perfect timing. He was working last night and called me, like he always does from work. He was reading an article in a magazine about the top 10 vacation destinations you wouldn't think of or something like that. Anyway. #4 was Iceland of all places. It belonged on the list though because I would never think of going to Iceland. He was reading me the information and the price for a roundtrip ticket and hotel isn't insane. After deciding that any place in South America wasn't the best place to go, We both decided that we would go to Iceland. I need to start saving my money and Brian should be doing the same but he's a poker player and he's convinced he'll win all the money he needs. We were already looking at bars and viking museums we can go to. I know my parents are going to read this and be like Iceland? She's out of her mind. That's the stupidest thing we've ever heard. Well, don't worry. I'm not flying out tomorrow. And besides, I've always wanted to travel. Why not start with Iceland?
