Kevin and I recently returned from spending 10 days in Iceland – and what an incredible vacation. For most visitors, your first stop will be in Reykjavik, the country’s largest city (population just 120,000). While tiny compared to most major European cities, Reykjavik certainly packs a punch. Whether you’re doing a layover or starting your…
When I suggested a day trip South of the border to Tijuana, I could see the confusion on Kevin’s face. Tijuana?? Ignore all the bad publicity.
