Grew Up in Iceland 9 months ago

I grew up in Iceland (born American) after my father was stationed at NAS Keflavik (now closed) in 91 . I spent 7 amazing and years there before moving back to the states at 13, but now have my sights set on returning. That trip has recently become a reality as I will be taking some friends on a trip there in June 09! Nothing special about the trip, just getting my passport, saving up money and catching a plane over.

This is going off the list 9 months ago

I applied to two fellowships to go to Iceland this year. After having received news in early January that I hadn’t been selected for the first, this weekend I found out I was also not shortlisted for the second. So that cuts Iceland out for now, or at least in the ways I had expected it to happen. But actually, I am not upset about this, not in the way I might have been in the past. I think the universe is telling me something about what are my motivations behind my goals and my actions—and the more aware I become, the more the universe takes on a “no-bullshit” attitude (as in making me be real 100 percent of the time).

So, off the list it goes, but definitely not indefinitely.

Should know by the end of January if this is going to happen 9 months ago

Keeping my fingers crossed.



Going in June! 10 months ago

My mom and I have decided to take a mother-daughter trip to Iceland in June. I’m SO excited to see the geothermal springs, volcanos and hike in the rugged terrain!



Four days... 14 months ago

Definitely wasn’t long enough! Such a pretty country! I definitely only got a little taste and really want to go back…

I am so not prepared. Well, not as prepared as I should be or usually am. I normally have many lists already made even if I am going on a trip to another state. I did get my Icelandic Kronos and a passport. That is it. I have to call my credit cards and bank to inform them of my possible overseas usage, I have to call t-mobile to make sure I can use some form of communication via my Blackberry (which I hate and refuse to use under any other circumstance), get my plug converter (which I am getting tonight), buy film for the medium format camera(next week on a lunchbreak), find the charger for the digital camera, wash and pack my clothes, and update my ipod with everything I could want to listen to while away. Oh yeah, and it would be good to get a couple of books for the plane. I will get it all done, I am just tired. I never ever want to plan a trip this far in advance ever again. I have lost my steam. Going out tomorrow to practice my camera skills. I will get it all done. I don’t have a choice.

5 Weeks and 2 Days to go 15 months ago

It is finally sinking in that I will be going that far away by myself. I planned it specifically to go by myself, but lately my anxiety gets much worse when I spend extended periods of time alone in my own head. It will be nice to see something other than buildings. Solitude in Iceland – you can’t ask for anything more peaceful than that. I can’t wait!
