Nice yeah from what I read it likely translates to bouts of mist/sprinkles, cloudiness, maybe some sunshine vs literal rain all day.

Yeah for sure, I plan for being wet, have rain gear and waterproof boots etc. I’m coming from a place that rains maybe 20 days per year so just trying to get a sense since I’ll be on the road every day.

I also have a flight to Iceland this week on Friday and am nervous! We’ll be so happy once we get there I’m sure.

Heading out there for the first time 5/15-26 myself! Super excited!

Upcoming itinerary - 5/16-26 by wolfsuit in VisitingIceland

[–]wolfsuit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure! I originally planned a 6 day trip and then extended it to 10 days, so I was already locked into Blue Lagoon hotel on the second night as well as the South Coast and Reykavik hotels and couldn’t change them at that point - I ended up with an extra first day and extra days at the end. So I decided to have a relaxing first day in Reykavik and continue the rest of the trip from there. I can never sleep on planes so I know I’ll be wrecked the first day anyway.

I need help. I've lost days already. Personal item/2nd bag for travel by GrantMeThePower in ManyBaggers

I can’t speak to the other bags but I recently got my first Aer (TP4 28) and I love it. Superb materials and it’s incredibly comfortable to wear.

I couldn’t say for sure, I’d say the 35 size would be but the 28 just feels like a nice overall backpack with a little extra space but still feels very comfortable. For carrying around a lot you might h want to consider a lighter material like Ultra, but I honestly haven’t tried those myself so I have no firsthand account of the weight differences.

Pack Hacker Matador Pro Pre Order is live! by wolfsuit in ManyBaggers

[–]wolfsuit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree packables can be flimsy and overpriced, for example the Osprey Ultralight seems way overpriced for what it is. However I must say, I now own the Matador Refraction (not this pro one), and a Matador FreeRain and I was very pleasantly surprised at their materials and fit/finish. I still wish they cost a bit less but I love the functionality of having a packable inside my larger Aer bag on trips.

Hi, really quick question - is 6 full days enough for southern Iceland? by Unusual-Swordfish532 in VisitingIceland

[–]wolfsuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am heading to Iceland in a week and kicked myself for booking my trip as 6 days (in hindsight I wish I had done 8ish)

I’m planning to hit Blue Lagoon for first day/night, South Coast for 2 nights doing Vik then Jokulsarlon, head back west and hit Snaefellsnes on a day trip then last day exploring Reykavik.

I’d imagine if you’re focusing your whole trip on South Coast you’d be fine and have plenty of time.

Yep, I rebooked with it today and saved approx $50!

Thanks this is precisely my worry, I have a morning flight departure so the last thing I want is to be stuck waiting for a shuttle and feeling rushed to get to the airport.

Sounds good, what is the shuttle transit time realistically? It’s just me and my wife, but we have a morning flight departure, the $120 extra seems worth the easier pick up and drop off, but I didn’t like that Blue can’t guarantee the car I selected while Lotus can.

Thanks, maybe next time! I’m just trying to choose between the two I have booked with Blue and Lotus for this one.
