Having just jaunted off across Europe and Asia this summer, we almost feel guilty taking another trip so soon… almost being the key word.

After all, the Mongol Rally is not exactly a vacation as much as it’s a test of endurance and cunning.  And with IcelandAir offering such smoking deals on direct flights from Seattle, including a hotel package… well, we found it hard to deny ourselves the chance to get away.

So today we are flying to Reykjavik for a weekend of runtur (pub crawl), geysers, waterfalls, northern lights and the earth splitting open at Thingvellir, where two continental plates are dividing… oh yeah, we’ll relax a bit in natural thermal hot springs.
