Stormy weather

The pelting rain and wind of last night continues, but not with the lashing ferocity that shook the windows last evening. I hope it's not a taste of Icelandic weather to come!

I'm checking off my lists and organizing things most of today and tomorrow morning. We plan to leave for the airport tomorrow evening by 5, our flight leaves at 9:30 PM. We'll arrive in Icelandic darkness(sunrise is after 8:30 AM) Friday morning at 6:30 AM. We can pick up our rental car at 7:30. Then, we'll drive to Reykjavik and wander around some of our favorite spots and shops from our previous trips to the city. Check in time at our hotel outside of the city is at 3. It's about an hour and a half drive (without photo stops!!). Rain is the predicted weather, hopefully without too much wind making driving dicey. We have plenty of layers and waterproof clothes and boots, so I hope we are well prepared for our adventure. We're both excited and pinching ourselves!
