Return to London
*Editor’s Note: I’m writing this several weeks after the trip, life and all kept me from getting this sorted before now. By the time we got back to London on Thursday night, it hit me how quickly this trip was flying by. Just a few more days in London before heading back to the states via another fast stopover in Reykjavik. The best idea Libby had in finalizing all our plans (and she had many, let’s be honest), was to insist we keep the same apartment in London all week so we didn’t have to lug our bags to Dublin and back. Plus, returning to a familiar flat really felt…
Next Stop: Dublin

When this whole trip was still in the planning stages, Libby and I agreed we wanted to fit in as much as we could in the short time we had abroad.

After a lovely if whirlwind day in Reykjavik, we got ourselves up before dawn to catch an early flight to London. We’d planned our travel so that we could make the most of our days – early flights and trains so when we got where we were goings, we’d still have time to enjoy it. This strategy proved taxing, to be sure, but early on in the week we kept pace. London proved very London-y when we landed, damp and cloudy to greet us. Exhausted and not thinking clearly,…
Next Stop: Reykjavik

Back in January, I sent a good friend a quick Facebook note. “Happy New Year!” I cheered, wishing her the best for the coming year. By the time we ended that chat, we’d planned to travel abroad together this year, both our travel bugs getting antsy. At the time, I had no idea what the next 4 months had in store for me – another new job, another cross-country move.
