We Left our RV for a 1-way Flight to Iceland!

[@JulieSlaughter-r8p]

I loved Iceland. I lived there in 1967-68. I went through 5th and 6th grade at Keflavik Naval Station. It was our best overseas experience. I remember the mud pots, the geysers and the hot springs. No where in all the world are the Waterfalls as beautiful. We climbed an "Inactive Volcano" that actually blew a year or so after we left. Our car was so old that it didn't have a real floor in the back where the 3 of us kids sat. It had a board to cover the holes. One of the most memorable places we saw was Whale Bay. It was an active whaling station we were there. We got to watch them cut up the blubber from the whale. The water ran red with blood and the seagulls dove into the water to catch the excess. At night when the Aroura Borealis was visible I'd take a blanket outside lay it on the snow. Play the radio and watch the lights dance to the music. Sweet memories. (Except for the smell of the fish drying racks). We lived next to a pumas field and I often walked through there to get pieces big enough to carve. My Mom had those for years, but my nephews didn't understand their importance and played with them till they broke. I hope you loved your visit as much as I did.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

What amazing memories, thank you for sharing! Iceland is truly unique.

[@janetfolkerts5827]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU...for taking us with you.

Love Marissa staying back and taking care of the kids method.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

We do try to take turns, as there's so much to explore!

I lived in Iceland in the 80's. My dad ran the NATO Base's radio and tv station. Best place to live ever! Soooo beautiful and the people are just awesome!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

So stunning!! What great memories to have

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

One day your children will tell their children about this time in their lives. I’ve met many adults who as children traveled also. I’ve noticed them all to be much more intelligent, and confident. May you cont. to love your beautiful journey.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much for this! We truly started this adventure for them!

[@tinbarnranch]

Woo-wee that's so EPIC! Thanks for the lift.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Stay in the car - there's so much more to come!!

[@swansodi]

I lived in Iceland in the 80's, yes I was stationed there as a Navy Officer. I loved it, so different and stunning. It has definitely become a tourist destination, back in my day very few tourists came there. You still have a ton of things to show us...

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Oh wow! Yes, now it's a dream journey list destination for so many! (myself included). We are only just getting started!!

[@playermd4]

That is so awesome, y’all are so lucky to travel and make memories for your kiddos!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

[@sherriweber7105]

Thank you Marissa and Nathan for taking me on this journey with you in Iceland. It looks very unique. How’s the bakery there? It looks like ours here in the states. How’s their food as well? If you have that in an up coming video you don’t have tell me now I like to be surprised in another video. Love you all. Glad you didn’t off road with the car didn’t want you to get stuck. Hope have more fun while there. Have a great week and weekend and see you soon! Safe travels.

For as amazing as Iceland is and the intense awesome visuals in the video, it was that pastry shop and made me want to go to Iceland.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

YES!!! And the pastry was next level! Worth every bite!

[@12LegJourney]

Oh my goodness Iceland is gorgeous! We've lived in a travel trailer for 6 years and I can't imagine adjusting to daily life in an RV in another country! We're currently working on our dream journey of 48 states in 48 weeks but Iceland may be the next stop after we've seen all the states!

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Just might have to add it to that Journey List!

[@shirley-i5s]

That was hilarious but beautiful

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Glad you liked it! It was a great start to our adventure

I really would not have entertained this for an adventure either but WOW, my eyes have been opened too!

[@JulieSlaughter-r8p]

When I lived there, one of the main foods was Lamb. I hate lamb. But unless I was on base, I got a lamb-burger instead of a hamburger or a lamb dog instead of a hot dog. In the '60s only the main road to Reykjavik was paved everything else was dirt rocky roads. And yes, we often had to drive through the streams. I hope you got to see the different birds around the island. The Artic turns and the Puffins. If you went to the coast, the sand is black. Thank you so much for the memories.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That's so amazing you lived there! Seems to be a few here who were stationed there. It's truly been a dream come true and there's so much more to come!

[@PamW2009]

Hahahaaaaa standard shift dilemma. The SAME thing happened to us test driving a 6-speed 2017 Mustang. It was my husband's turn to drive her and 10 minutes later we couldn't figure out how to get her in reverse. Finally called the dealer and asked what the secret was. Yep, needed to lift the silver collar on the stick shift. I did buy the car and love driving a standard shift again.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

That's so wild!! Have never experienced that before

[@susanpratt3290]

i could not pronounced any of the words in Iceland either, don't feel bad. I did suspect that there was a lot of geothermal bodies of water. That church is amazing, and how in the world till they get those pipes for that organ up there is a mystery to me, and many others. That grocery store with the pig on it, first thing I thought of was Piggly Wiggly. They had a Piggly Wiggly Store in Mineral Wells, Texas where my mom's mom and my dad's parents lived for a long time. His parents moved there when he was in 3rd grade, and my mom her mom moved there (Mineral Wells) when she was in 8th grade. My parents met in high school and got married in a church in Mineral Wells. We visited Mineral Wells, Texas many times growing up, as our cousins, Dad's sister's kids, visited with my grandparents with us. Our grocery stores can take a lesson by widening the aisles a bit more, and stop putting stuff in the aisles, not enough room. When you rent a vehicle in Europe, it will most likely be a manual shift, and I am sure other countries have mostly manual shift cars. I have not driven one in years, and I have not missed it. I had a stick shift more than once, two different vehicles, and I was not fond of driving one. Iceland is a pretty interesting place as I can see from your video. Thank you for taking us along on your trip to Iceland.

[@LessJunkMoreJourney]

Thank you so much for coming along - and there's so much more to share!

We usually cut the pastry you ate into strips. It's called Vínarbrauð in Icelandic she probably just didn't know what to call it in English

Oh into strips would have been so smart 😂
