Hello! My fiance and I have planned a trip to Iceland at the end of April; our package includes flight & hotel just outside of Reykjavik. We'd love to explore the countryside, and do the drive around Iceland. Is it possible to do this in just 2 days? We're avid road-trippers so we don't mind long hours in the car. I'd just like to make the most out of the money we spent booking the hotel for 6 nights. Any spectacular places to stop along the way in particular? (the glacier lagoon for example?) What about small towns to find a hostel / motel / somewhere to stay for 1 night? Thanks!

I'm going with two of my friends winter 2014 (during the off-season) for 9 days. Other than Reykjavik, which destinations should we make a point to visit? Our budget for food/drink/accommodations/tourism is ~$2,300 (US dollars). This excludes plane tickets, which are already paid for. Note: Though we are athletic people, we are not trained to do challenging hikes, climb mountains, etc. I would love to do a hike though. Hot springs and northern lights are a must! Thank you!

november is unfortunately the only time we can make this trip with my 3 and 10 year old kids.intend to stay in reykjavik for 2 days before we set off exploring Iceland in a rented car.intend to do some whale watching,see the geysirs and some horse riding..where do we go for all these?which towns we shld be heading to?and how long does it take to go to these places?we know we will probably see only few hours of daylight..is it advisable for us to continue driving once the sun sets?any recommendation on where else to go?we'll do the blue lagoon in one of the 2 days we are in reykjavik.any info will be much appreciated ..thanks!

How is iceland in the summer? Does it ever get under 10 degrees? What are the average temperatures? I'm vert interested in going hiking/camping there in the summer, and don't know if I should bring a camping hammock or a tent? Any suggestions will be great, thanks

I lost my last tooth yesterday, and I awoke this morning with no money underneath my pillow! The funny thing is, my tooth was gone! I need to mail him a letter complaining that he stole my tooth! Does anyone know his mailing address? Thanks so much, ;D
