Airport Market
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We got our food from this small market inside the airport. Only people who are still traveling are allowed to shop here, which I found strange. To make sure, you even have to scan your boarding passRead more
Great Prices!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
One thing that really surprised me about this little market was that the prices were very reasonable and in line with the average delicatessen or 7-11. Food prices at airports are usually astronomicalRead more
Trolls!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
I knew that Iceland had a lot of stories and legends about trolls but I never expected to see one of them at the airport! I’d love to find out more about these mythical creatures.
Bathroom Break
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Before leaving, I made a trip to the restroom and was very impressed by how they are set up in Iceland. Each stall is like this, set up like a very roomy and comfortable private bathroom. I’m veryRead more
Time to Go
November 5, 2023 in Iceland
We’re ready to continue our journey on to London but it was great to get a small taste of Iceland. I’m already looking forward to coming back here again!
Boarding
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We’re boarding the plane now but, as always, there seems to a some sort of delay getting from the jetway onto the plane itself. What is the problem? If everyone has got on in an orderly manner,Read more
A Window Seat
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
I’ve got a window seat for the last leg of our flight. I’m happy that I’m able to look out the window and take pictures but the aisle seat is also great because it allows me to get up and walkRead more
Found Our Seats
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
We were among the first group of people to board the plane. I guess, for this flight, it doesn’t really matter since we don’t have any carryon baggage to put in the overhead bin. I do like notRead more
Ready to Go
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Groot’s ready to leave Iceland, for now, and fly on to London. Groot is always traveling with us now. He can be a lot of fun and he’s always a great source of good photos. He’s my favorite, andRead more
Lights Out!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
The lights just went off so I’m guessing that’s our signal that it’s time for us to take off. I’m hoping to sleep for a bit before we land in London. Despite being very tired, I doubt it’llRead more
Take Off!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
And just like that, we’re up in the air again and flying off towards London. Bye for now, Iceland! We’ll be back to see you soon!
Bye, Reykjavik!
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
This is exactly why I love to sit in the window seat while flying. The aisle is more convenient but views like this are unforgettable. Compared to other cities we’ve flown over, Reykjavik looks veryRead more
Comes the Dawn
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
Although it’s a bit past 8:30, it’s still very dark in Iceland. It’s interesting to see that that they have a daily cycle that’s so different from what we’re used to. I’m so eager toRead more
Sunrise
November 5, 2023 in Iceland ⋅ 🌬 37 °F
How often do you get to watch a sunrise while so high up in the sky? It’s such a rare opportunity but, as I look around the plane, almost nobody is appreciative of this spectacular view. EveryoneRead more
Getting Close
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F
I was relaxing, but not sleeping, for a while now and I’m seeing that it’s nearly time for us to land at Heathrow Airport. I’m tired but excited! I’m looking forward to being back on the ground.
Nearly There
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 52 °F
We’re very close to London now and I’m getting eager to land. I’ve already bundled up all my stuff so I’m all ready to go!
First Look
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
This is my first look at London. From up here, it looks, pretty much, like every other big city. I’m just really happy that I got a window seat this time so I can enjoy views like this.
We’ve Landed
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We just landed at Heathrow Airport and we’re now headed to whatever gate we’ve been assigned. The weather looks great! I’m excited to be back in England. It’s been a long time…
The Big Rush
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
This is the worst part of a flight, in my opinion. As soon as we get to the gate, everyone is in such a rush to get up and then just stand there, crowding the aisle, until the gate is opened. ThisRead more
Luggage Handling
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
While waiting to get off the plane, I’m watching the baggage handlers take care of the luggage. They are fast and efficient but not very gentle with the passengers bags. I haven’t seen ours comeRead more
Long Lines
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re off the plane, inside Heathrow Airport, and now waiting on the passport control line. I feel like nearly everything about traveling involves waiting on long lines. It’s frustrating butRead more
Moving Quickly
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re moving through this line faster than I thought we would. I usually dread these lines but this time it’s not so bad. I hope it’s this easy when we get back to Iceland.
Where’s Our Bags?
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’re out of the immigration area and ready to pick up our bags. I’m disappointed that we didn’t have our passports stamped, since I like collecting them, but everything is automated here now.Read more
Big Empty
November 5, 2023 in England ⋅ ☀️ 54 °F
We’ve got our bags, but where is everyone else? I had thought that an airport as big and as busy as Heathrow would be packed with people but I guess not. I’m happy not to deal with the crowds though.
