We'd won airline tickets, (yay!), and have been thinking about how we could use them; so we're planning a trip to San Francisco in just under a month.

We've also been trying to plan a honeymoon for nearly a year now, and we finally got a bit of time and booked it! We're heading to Iceland near the end of June, when it'll be peak time for the midnight sun. I can't wait to experience that. From what I've seen of it, it looks quite beautiful!
If you've been to either of these places, and have tips for us; perhaps places to visit, or eat or stay, please let me know!
Also, some other good news:
Just over a week ago today, Juli and John of Mjölk and Kitka Design Toronto just had a beautiful baby girl. They just posted about her on their blog. I had the pleasure of meeting her yesterday, and she's a pretty perfect little baby! She was so quiet and pretty! And it was really sweet to see their cat, Isha, interact with her.
Another friend, Celine, is due at any moment! I can't wait to meet their little girl too!
What an exciting time!
Please shoot any recos for Iceland my way as well!
ReplyDeleteCertainly, Miss Rizie! Where will you two be staying? We're actually thinking of getting a cabin through airbnb. You have to be a bit careful, and read all of the reviews and ratings, but I've heard good things about them!
DeleteWe booked an apartment through Airbnb. I think it's one of the top rated ones on there for Reykjavik. I'm so excited! We're renting a car & will hit the roads. I can't wait to eat fresh seafood! & hotdogs!!!!!
DeleteRiz, it sounds like we have very similar plans! We rented a cabin in the north through airbnb so far, and will probably rent an apartment in Reykjavik, too. We're also renting a car and driving all over the place! HOT DOGS!! SEA FOOD!! WOOLY SWEATERS!! (Not to eat, though...).
DeleteOh, exciting! We went to Iceland for our honeymoon last summer and had an amazing time. I will try to come up with a list of some recommendations!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Elaina! Please do!
DeleteHihi! You know we have our recommendations for Reykjavik on the blog, though you'll have to hunt around a bit for them (search Reykjavik)!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the sweet comments about Elodie. It was a pleasure having you stop by to meet her. Can't wait for Celine's little one to arrive!
Oh! Splurge dinner at DILL (in Alvar Aalto designed Nordic House). Make a reservation. So amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely check the blog for recommendations! And Dill looks fantastic! Maybe I can make that a bit of a surprise one night. ;) Thanks again, and I hope to see you again really soon!
DeleteI am so excited that you guys booked your trip to Iceland! A well deserved honeymoon! Iceland will be the prettiest, I really want to go see the countryside one day.
ReplyDeleteYou met Elodie already?!? AHH! Amazing!! I am hoping to meet her soon!
Yeah, we FINALLY booked it! It's taken us forever to even set aside enough time to plan the trip! I can't wait to take photos! Celine, you should see the pretty little cabin we're planning to rent! It's up in the northern part of the island, in the middle of NOWHERE. It'll be incredible!
DeleteAnd yes! Elodie is beautiful! You really should get over there soon, before you have your hands too busy! haha!
