To Iceland and beyond!

Tomorrow we’ll start two weeks trip to Iceland and the United States. We’re going to visit in Reykjavik and the neighbourhoods for three days, then fly to Boston for another three days. There we’ll going to check Cape Cod and then take a train to NYC, and spend five days there. We’re going to visit Long Island, too. After NYC, we’ll board train to Washington D.C., spend three days there and then come back to Finland via Copenhagen.

I’m very excited about the trip. I haven’t been before in Iceland or Washington D.C., so there’ll be new things for me. I haven’t even flown with Icelandair before, so that’ll be new experience, too. In Iceland, we’ll going to spend some time in the golden circle, in Reykjavik centre and also in thermal springs.

Boston will be more laidback time, revitalising after Iceland and preparing for NYC. We’ve rented a car for visiting Cape Cod; hopefully the weather will be nice.

NYC is, of course, an endless source of things to do and see; and we’ll try to mix and match something new and old. At least, we should visit Guggenheim and MOMA, maybe also other museums and then shop till we drop. I’ve been saving money to be spent in the Fifth Avenue, and I’m waiting for visits to Prada and DKNY stores. This time, we’ll try some outlets, too.

Washington program seems to revolve around Smithsonian museums, and we’ll go to see the state monuments.

After two weeks, we’ll be most probably exhausted, but still strangely energised of everything that we saw and experienced.

I won’t have any laptop with me; I’m planning to buy one during the trip — but the details are still hazy. So don’t expect too frequent updates during the trip. Once we are back in Finland, I’ll spam the journal with all experiences and start to write reviews.
