to Rejkavik, Iceland….. Bangor, Northern Ireland….. Majorca, Spain….. London, UK…..  Stockholm, Sweden….. and back to Redmond via another stop in Iceland….

First stop Rejkavik Iceland.  Before we were married Dick and I had a conversation routine about Iceland.  I was working on the floor at REI and would get multiple phone calls over the course of months from a guy who had this  high pitched, distinctive, hilarious accent who said he was from Iceland.  (It was Dick).  He would ask me if I’d ever been to Iceland and tell me all about how wonderful it was.  REI sold an Icelandic wool sweater at the time and that was about all I knew about Iceland.  We would laugh together and then I would get back to work.  Well, guess who emerged today in our conversation?  My friend from Iceland who said, “I can’t believe today we are going to Iceland together!”
