With any luck...

The National Geographic Explorer

With any luck, tonight we will fly to Reykjavik, Iceland, and tomorrow we will board the National Geographic Explorer for a trip to see mostly wildlife, and also a few other sights. A photo from our previous expedition on the Explorer shows the ship in the background, and a colony of penguins in the foreground. No penguins this time -- but maybe a few good Northern Hemisphere arctic birds and animals.

In these uncertain times, our family motto remains "You're never there until you're there." We are aware of a number of issues, especially bureaucratic, that can arise in the next 24 hours. But we have hope that we'll be there and that the trip will be a success!

We may be without internet access some or all of the time, so there may not be many blog posts until some time in August. I won't be visiting other blogs or leaving comments, and I won't be linking to other bloggers after today. If you see nothing here, there's a good chance that we were lucky! (I have one post about another subject scheduled to appear while we are gone.) But you'll hear from me again next month. I wish you all lots of summer fun and good health, and no problems with bureaucracy!

I hope you have a wonderful time and can't wait to see your photos. I was in Iceland back in 2009 and we did a car trip on the Ring road. It was an amazing experience and I'd love to go back. So cool that you'll be exploring the wildlife. Have tons of fun and safe travels!

Have been reading all your iceland and maine posts - so wonderful to read about travel as we still have closed borders and so much lockdown in Australia. I particularly loved seeing your puffin pictures and all the icelandic street art but am commenting here (time being of the essence) to say I am so glad you got to do your travels
