When Jen told me we could take the family on a week-long trip to Paris, France and Barcelona, Spain with three full days in each city, during February vacation .. for less than the cost of a trip to Disney, I was incredulous. When we did it, I was amazed. When we got back, exhausted. And now wondering how we pull off something like this again!
Of course getting flights and hotels this cheap meant not direct and single family room for four, but we could work with that.
A mid-winter trip to Iceland sounded chilly, I was apprehensive until I saw the cheap flights and hot excursions Jen found. Luckily, the week we went, it was sub-zero temperatures at home and mid to low 30F in Iceland .. we actually found warmer weather than staying home.
And with Sky Lagoon a balmy 104F, we really had it made!
With a name like "South Shore", you would think it would be a little warmer. But no: air temperature of about 50F was nice if not for the stiff breeze over 10mph and a water temp of about 42F. Waves were nice - there were a few surfers, with full wetsuit regalia. I saw only one other brave soul splashing about.
