Places of interest in Iceland

It has been a challenge for me to not overplan this trip when there is still 200 days to go before we leave. But ultimately, I have 7 short days to spend in Iceland, so I want to maximize every moment with everything we want to see, do and experience. 

It seems typical that flights coming in from North American into Keflavik International Airport arrive super early in the morning-before 7am. Pacific time, this is 11pm, so it will essentially be the middle of the night for us by the time we begin our vacation. Hopefully we will get some sleep on the plane, and the excitement will carry us through a majority of the day!

There will be nearly 2 full days we will spend in Reykjavik, along with every evening after any day trips we will make. So far the basic itinerary will consist of road trips to the Snaefellsnes peninsula, the Golden Circle, and South Iceland. The last day of our trip will be spent in utter luxury at the Blue Lagoon. I splurged on the ultimate package where we can enjoy a private suite for three hours along with pampering, drinks, and samples of skin care products. This will get us relaxed for the ten hours of traveling home (seven on the plane, three in the car!).
