Adventures with Julia

July 12, 2016

We got up this morning to learn that the travel company, Iceland Unlimited, expected us to arrive this morning, while we have been expecting to arrive tomorrow morning.  What went wrong?  Too many people making assumptions.  Bottom line is we miss out on our arrival day plans to spend time in the famous Blue Lagoon and see the sights in Reykjavik.  We will now attempt to catch our scheduled flight to Greenland as soon as we land in Reykjavik.  Will be very close.  As there is nothing we can do at this point, we are going with the flow….so to speak.  We have arrived at Sac airport and are waiting for our flight to Seattle on Alaska Airlines.  Two hours there and on to Reykjavik on Iceland Air.   If all goes well, we will arrive there at 6:45 am local, grab our bags, meet our driver who has our trip documents, and dash to the domestic terminal for the flight to Ilulissat, Greenland.   Cannot tell you why the flight to Ilulissat, which is in a different country, departs from the domestic terminal.  Maybe we will learn on the way.

So, although it is not starting out at all as we planned, it is already  very much an adventure.   Mark is a “remain calm” kind of guy and I am choosing to follow his lead.  Nothing else to do anyway.  More when we get wherever we are going.

Enjoy a happy day in sunny Northern California,  Julia
