The name Iceland doesn’t evoke thoughts of ease and comfort and, well, warmth<\/i>, which is what many people look for in a vacation destination. But since Carrie and I are young and stupid, we thought we might as well give Iceland a shot before we graduate to more senior activities, like playing shuffleboard on a Caribbean cruise or pinocle in wheelchairs with people we’re not sure we recognize. That sounds a lot scarier than Iceland. Who cares if it can snow in summer. Who cares if hurricane-force winds sweep the land as regularly as the sun shines in California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
