Waking up in Reykjavik was one of the highlights of the
trip. I only wish we could have stayed another 3 days or so in the city! Mostly
I’d like to come back because our AirBNB was one of the most incredible places
I've ever stayed. There were a few smaller rooms for the guys, a big open room
with 6 or so beds for the girls, and a perfect room for Brian and I overlooking
the sidewalk just out our window (we were the only married couple at this
location). The owners were a husband and wife who lived upstairs, he a former
headmaster in England and she a native of Iceland who had both moved to
Reykjavik after retiring. They also had a cat named Pumpkin, who was accustomed
to sleeping in our room and snuggled with us most of the night. I would
literally be tempted to come back to Iceland just to curl up in this BNB with
one of the many sheep's wool blankets, Pumpkin, and a good book. I never
thought I'd love a city this much, but Reykjavik won me over!

We explored a little more of Reykjavik before heading back
to the airport in Keflavik.

We said "see ya later" to Iceland, boarded our plane on the runway just as we had landed, and took off for good ol' America.

Our trip wouldn’t have been complete without getting stuck in
customs waiting out a vicious storm in Baltimore! Though we didn’t get back to Lexington
until 6 a.m., we enjoyed these last few unexpected hours together. :)
