Packing our bags...

I'm dusting off this old travel blog which has sadly been dormant since our last big adventure to the United Kingdom. We've a few local trips and adventures since then, long weekends to Vancouver BC, the Oregon coast, and Victoria BC, which I should have documented and blogged here but you'll have to satisfy your need for vicarious armchair travel here and here and here instead.

Last spring I said, "Let's go to Paris in the fall," and Matt said, "Ok." Then I did a bit of poking about on the interwebs and said, "Hey, if we fly on Icelandair we can add a stopover in Reykjavik for a couple of nights plus break up the long flight that way," and Matt said, "Oh! There were Vikings in Iceland. Ok." I'm paraphrasing of course, that's the gist of it, how idea for this trip was born. We'll fly to Reykjavik, and spend three nights there exploring the city, riding Icelandic horses across lava fields, and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon with a Brennivin. Then we'll go on the Paris, where we have an apartment in le quartier latin waiting for us. It will be our home base for strolling along le Champs Elysee, museum hopping, and sipping le vin rouge in sidewalk cafes for eight nights. Then it's back home to Seattle, to a plethora of home improvement projects and the battle of puppy house-training awaits us.
