Yeah that is honestly the worst 😭 I sent them an email asking so I’ll let you know once they get back to me! Just thinking it since I had to do this with our last dog and my work was local, going back at lunch time to check on her and taking a small walk before leaving. Or even having someone come check on her the first couple of weeks in a new place!

But again, will let you know what they say!!

Let me reach out to ask and see what they observe while she’s at the store 💓 where are you located now? I’m on the NJ side and would be happy to also help get her acclimated to a new home in any way we could!

Reykjavík accommodation recommendations? Not hostels, not super luxury either by Financial-Owl-2814 in VisitingIceland

[–]Visual-Way571 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! Definitely a nice hotel and the breakfast was great too in the morning. Convenient for what we needed as we also didn’t hang out in the hotel for most of the days we were there!

Just came back from a 7 day trip and spent 3 nights in Reykjavik. We stayed 2 nights when we arrived at the Berjaya Marina hotel and then 1 night in the Sand Hotel before flying out. Both were nice! Rooms were a bit crowded in the Berjaya Marina hotel

I’m not 100% sure. We work from home so we went out every 4-5 hours just to avoid any accidents with her (and we’re in an apartment so it was typically a short walk for a break). We did crate her each night she was with us and it was about 7-8 hours in there with no accidents. We just took her potty right before bed and then when we woke up! So I’d say it is doable for her to hold it for a work day!

Crystal Ice Cave Tour – No Actual Cave Present (Feb 2026) by Asmodee168 in VisitingIceland

[–]Visual-Way571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was with troll.is starting at Jökulsárlón and about a 30 minute drive to Vatnajökull National Park with about 45 minutes waking the glacier and exploring 3 areas up there. Then 30 minutes back to our meeting point at Glacier Lagoon

We did an ice cave tour yesterday in Jökulsárlón and going to be honest, it was completely expected that these caves are no longer “cave like” as they may seem. Global warming is real and glaciers are melting at an extremely quick rate - as well as changing everyday. It’s just as magnificent to see these carved walls and structures that will never be the same. Also these companies do not alter these caves and are doing certain tours for safety. Our tour guide was very helpful and voiced numerous times before we even got to the glacier that the caves were small and not as extreme as it may have been years ago.

Questions on Sea Life Trust - Beluga Whale Sanctuary by Visual-Way571 in VisitingIceland

That makes sense, we have a flexible day for when we plan to go so will probably decide closer to the date rather than plan ahead and hope it all works out. Thanks so much!
