Food Adventures with Grace

I took advantage of a Southwest Airline deal I bought back in June for about $180 rt down to Santa Ana from Portland with a caveat that I had to transfer in the bay area each way.

Iceland: Northern Lights

I arrived in Reykjavik a day before the yoga retreat with Rosie started in September 2018. I checked into my Airbnb and roamed around town. I thumbed through a few local travel brochures at the local visitor center in downtown. I was told that the chances of seeing the Northern Lights weren’t too high, butContinue reading “Iceland: Northern Lights”
