Handing my key over to the front desk, I was in search of an affordable breakfast in Reykjavik. Not wanting to do the hotel continental breakfast buffet for $25 (no ala-carte), I wanted to find a local cafe to enjoy a quiet breakfast before my day of adventure. The front […]
All of the weather apps, no matter how much I wished it otherwise, showed rain and clouds for my four day weekend in Reykjavik so I resigned myself that I probably wasn’t going to see the Northern Lights in Iceland on this trip. The Aurora forecast for Iceland was showing […]
The airport ATM accepted my card, password and request for cash but then spit out the paper saying it couldn’t give me cash! I initially thought at 6:30 a.m. maybe the machine was empty so I tried the other machine, same result – no cash. Not worrying too much, I […]
The Land Rover felt like it was auditioning for a commercial as we drove downhill to the “old road” along the Golden Circle. We made it to the bottom over many a bumpy road filled with rocks and dirt only to wash it off through the small stream. I hadn’t […]

On my first visit to The Westin Sydney many years ago, I got stuck in the elevator. No, there wasn’t an electrical or mechanical problem, it was a dumb “only Sue” reason – I couldn’t get my keycard to work in the slot to press my floor. I tried a […]
We all want the best and when it comes to travel there are so many confusing “best of” options. This week’s #FriFotos theme is “Best” and I keep thinking how many times I went in search of the best and found something better. Yesterday’s post, I went in search of […]
