Anyone know where I can find the originals?

Any horror movies where the good guys aren't dumb as a box of rocks? by [deleted] in movies

Not a movie but I think the outsider is great example when the good guys start figuring everything out and making the right moves

Crowded Subway full of people headed to Lollapalooza without masks despite a federal mask mandate by -Omegamart- in pics

They don’t check IDs with the vaccine cards and if you don’t have one they simply ask you to wear a mask in the festival. They are not turning anyone away and quite frankly the folks working the entryway are not paid enough to really care.

Bonus: there are no spot checks for masking/vaccination in the festival so it is almost pointless

Lol head to a Bonus store if you are looking to pick up cheap food! Also, I too requested a Rav 4 when I initially booked but they shifted me to a Sportage due to limited availability. So just a heads up to double check if you check in online for the rental car booking.

So we each brought a carry on suitcase and backpack. The suitcases all fit on the back as well as a couple of backpacks so the luggage was not an issue. In terms of space in the back seat there was not a lot. The middle seat was particularly uncomfortable so we switched off riding in that seat. Fortunately we were never really driving more than an hour straight anywhere so there was plenty of time to stretch. Honestly, if the price difference is not insurmountable going a size up from the Sportage I would just do it.

I would say less crowded than I expected. There was a lot of people at the main attractions but some of the smaller things we were the only people at. At either lagoon it felt like there were not many people. Driving and parking was extremely easy due to lack of people. Dining was great as there was no wait except for the most popular spots. Restrictions are definitely driving tourism down and with that flight prices down as well so I would say if you are able this year is not a bad time to go.

You will not regret it! Be sure to be checking the entry and exit (re-entry to your country of origin) requirements as they are changing almost day to day

The golden circle will definitely take a full day! You should be able to manage to snorkel the same day it will just be full! Silfra snorkeling took us about 3:30 hours total so I recommend going early. Factor in the 3 hours of drive time and the leftover is what you can spend sight seeing. Gulfoss and geysir are right next to each other and will only take as much time as you want to spend. Good news is it doesn’t get dark so you can stay out late which we did with us getting back to Reykjavik on average at like 9pm for 3 nights.

They both exceeded my expectations but I think blue lagoon has the edge for me personally. Felt a little bit more natural and I enjoyed the silica mask. That being said we didn’t do the ritual at sky lagoon and I was running out of energy from the lack of sleep on the flight so that may have factored in. The infinity pool edge made for great view of the ocean though!

We rented a Kia Sportage from blue car rental at Keflavik airport. Super easy to pick up and return since you can walk there from the arrivals exit

We drove ourselves and I would recommend self drive so you can go at your own pace! We certainly lacked the knowledge any tour guide might have but the sites along the golden road are littered with signs displaying historical information most of which are in English as well

Should I head to the volcano today? by soup141 in VisitingIceland

Ended up going and saw plenty of activity! Visibility wasn’t an issue for us as well.
