We made it to Reykjavik, and less then 24 hrs into our journey we have already learned a ton!
1. Standing in line to check your bags is when it finally hits you, you're actually pulling this off
2. Finding out you have exit row seats is awesome (a little less awesome when you figure out that there is another exit row behind you so you can't recline your chair)
3. Entering Iceland is fast, took all of 1 minute, including waiting for the 10 people in front of us to get their passports stamped
4. When the ATM says 20, 30, 40, 50 it doesn't just mean kroner, it means 1000 kroners (much much different) Which explains why I was so confused as to why the "small" amounts
5. Iceland is COLD, not hoodie and jeans but puffy, long johns and wool hat cold. And the wind only makes it worse
6. No one gets up before 9, there isn't a single coffee or breakfast place open before then and at 9 they may or may not decide they want to let you in out of the cold.
7. Random bookings online sometimes work out, studio apartment in the middle of town sure beats a hotel room (and was a ton cheaper).
8. Groceries are expensive, but still cheaper then eating out
9. The bright red double decker bus what a great way to get a tour of the city (and out of the wind).
10. 1 day in we are still loving life
