Iceland: The Land of Fire and Ice

Sun, 7 Jan 2007 12:45:39 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author srrck22 - My husband and I lived in Iceland for 2 years while being stationed there at NAS Keflavik (no longer). We just recently left and I am homesick. Iceland is a beautiful country with lots of wonders. Everything seems to be wrapped up into a island in the...

Iceland: Iceland - A Niceland - Ready for Adventure?

Sat, 2 Apr 2005 18:28:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author doug2705eads - Land of Fire and Ice - Very Nice! I get amused when I read reviews on awesome places like Athens or in this case Iceland and see One Star reviews out of possible FIVE STARS. This makes me think - really unlucky people, or...

Iceland: The Beauty of Iceland

Mon, 11 Oct 2004 22:48:14 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author cody48169 - First off I have to say why Iceland? I had not known anyone that had ever gone there. My wife didn’t want to go. But the Internet was full of glowing reviews, plus the pictures of the mountains and falls just jumped out at me. So I went with my High...

Iceland: How the Blue Lagoon Works

Mon, 9 Aug 2004 01:30:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author blndgenie - First let me say that immersing myself in that other-worldly, bizarre steaming blue water was one of the best experiences in my life. Absolutely heavenly. But aside from that, I didn't REALLY know what to expect when I got there, so I thought I'd let...

Wed, 9 Jun 2004 07:28:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jenni_a - My visit to Iceland lasted a week in October of 2002 and was organized through my school. I thought that not only would a holiday with all of my friends be a great way to relax before the stress of year 10 GCSE syllabus kicked into full swing but also a...

Iceland: Splendors of Southwest Iceland: A Short Stopover in the Land of Fire and Ice

Mon, 19 Apr 2004 01:52:10 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kayaker237 - I didn't have a round-trip ticket the last time I came home from Europe, so when it came time to book a flight back to States, I thought I would do something a little "financially adventurous" (what a euphemism!) and stop in Iceland on the way. On every...

Iceland: Great vacation spot!!!

Mon, 1 Dec 2003 16:15:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kjp1971 - I have been to Iceland multiple times, and I DEFINITELY plan on going back someday! My most recent visit was half pleasure and half educational, as I was taking an Icelandic language course in Reykjavik. There are so many positives about this country, so...

Iceland: Just don't eat anything. Reykjavik Iceland

Thu, 17 Jul 2003 06:17:56 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author travelgall - Iceland is one of my favourite countries (and I've been to a lot), the place reeks cool. The weather is positively schizophrenic, some of the food is without a shaddow of a doubt repulsive, and if I lived there permanently (especially when it is dark all...

Iceland: A June 2002 update

Thu, 29 Aug 2002 00:21:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author senatorgirth - Thought I would add a more recent update to the list. My wife and I visited in June 2002; Iceland had been on our "to-do" list for some time.

Some points:

- Iceland is a wealthy, advanced, industrialized democracy. Spotlessly clean Reykjavik...

Iceland: Iceland is just great.

Wed, 5 Sep 2001 10:00:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author kosmatec - Iceland is a European country though it's rather far away from the rest of the continent.

At least it looks like that when you look at the map.

I started to be more focused on Iceland couple of years ago, when I was enchanted by Bjork's music...

Iceland: Can't Wait to go Back!

Sun, 29 Jul 2001 18:40:29 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author JustCathy - The name - Ice Land doesn't appropriately fit this remarkable island located just east of Greenland. This historically and fabled island was founded first by Irish Monks more than 1300 years ago. Just a little over 1100 years ago, the Vikings...

Iceland: Blue Lagoon-Reykjanes Tour- Reykjavik Excursions- Iceland

Fri, 16 Mar 2001 01:42:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author cws2p - Before I start, let me make sure that you do not pay more than you need: if you have a transfer pass to the airport as part of a package through Icelandair, you can use that transfer for a discount on this tour since the tour will drop you off at the...

Iceland: My Icelandic Honeymoon

Wed, 13 Dec 2000 16:21:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author muffins-cookie - "You went where on your honeymoon?" this is the response I am most likely to get when I tell someone where we honeymooned at. My husband and I wanted to go somewhere that was a little away from the normal honeymoon destination and this is about as far...

Iceland: Keflavik's Kaffi Duus: Soup's On!

Sat, 9 Dec 2000 21:08:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author largemarge - It's safe to say that Iceland is not a place you visit for the food. I'm currently reading W.H. Auden and Louis MacNeice's Letters From Iceland, published in 1937, and they include some deadly-accurate observations about Icelandic cuisine which...

Iceland: Exotic and Ignored

Wed, 29 Nov 2000 18:20:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Carlbud22 - Iceland is a truly bizarre and exotic place to visit. It can seem drab and dreary at a glance but really the island is just full of beautiful treasures. And one of the best things about Iceland is that is generally ignored as a travel destination and...
