101


Flippist World Headquarters, May 28, 2018

Whew! Like a fever-dream, spring has elevated itself into full-blown summer, with a reading of 101° in the shade on the Flippist front porch. Lately my dreams have been of 101 as well: 101 is the postal code for central Reykjavík. Making matters worse, my email inbox has been receiving tempting offers for reduced fares to Iceland as well as for the Iceland Airwaves festival. Just for fun, I pulled up a Reykjavík lodging web site and found this attractive apartment; not exactly cheap but just up the hill from all the musical action:



Real art on the walls, and scary graphics in the bedroom:




And it has a kitchen, a perk that really makes the trip affordable (restaurants in Iceland can be breathtakingly expensive):



After a consultation, the die was cast, the trigger was pulled, and the reservations were made.

101 Reykjavík here I come, one more time!

November 1-12.

I've been seeing air fares around $400. That is very tempting. Maybe I could sleep in an abandoned fish house.

Jono ~ mine was a little higher than that, it is cheaper from the east coast. The apartment was actually cheaper than San Francisco, and it has a kitchen! If you go the hostel route you can probably get a place for under $100.

Nicole ~ lucky trip #7, and the Weaver is coming too!
