What, Me Worry?

Reykjavík (click to embiggen), I'll be staying right behind the small church in the dead center of the image.

Traveling to Iceland is, for me at least, always an adventure tinged with foreboding.

Here are just a few of the million things that, in my fevered imagination, could go wrong:

1. The plane could crash (not likely)
2. I could crash on my way to the airport (more likely)
3. There could be an air traffic controller shortage (already here)
4. There could be an earthquake (very likely, hopefully harmless)
5. There could be a volcanic eruption (very likely)
6. I could be bitten by a mosquito (not likely, but possible)
7. The weather will be rotten
8. There could be a flight disruption in KEF (somewhat unlikely)
9. They won’t let me into the country (not likely)
10. My favorite swimming pool will be closed (already happened, hot pots remain open)
11. They will kick me out of Iceland Airwaves for taking pictures (???)
12. I could get beaten up (not likely now)
13. Icelandair could cancel my flight home (not likely, but it happened to me in 2009)

Now that I’ve enumerated my fears, I feel better about the trip.
