We lived in Iceland for 2 yrs when I was young and my father was in the Air Force. Now that I am grown that is the one place I would love to be able to take my children. The people are friendly and beautiful and so is the land and folklore.

The fish from those icy cold waters I had while in Iceland is the best fish I have EVER eaten! Other unusual facts about Iceland - no trees and dogs are banned from the island.

I agree with Phyllis. And, I learned my new thing for the day... actually a couple. I really want to see that black sand beach in person now.

I've always thought I wanted to go to Iceland. Now, I know I want to go.

I was lucky enough to spend three glorious years in Iceland. It is the most perfect place in the world.

I wonder how you would love it if you go back in January?

I've been to Iceland three times. It truly is a beautiful and magic place. It can be expensive for Americans, but I love just about eveything there (except the unecessary whale hunting for "scientific research"). I especially like the friendliness and industry of the people, the history and culture of Iceland, and the total emphasis on energy self-sufficiency - geothermal heating and power production, hydrogen buses in Reykjavik, and recycling. If I were single......

Whale Hunting! That doesn't sound like a civilized nation to me!

Note: there are dogs in Iceland, in fact, they have their own breed, the Icelandic sheep dog. Other breeds are also to be found, but if bringing an animal in from another country, it must be quaranteened for around 6 months. I lived there for almost a year and would love to make a return visit.

Just a little clarification, dogs are not banned from Iceland at all.

Attendants. I always get nervous when I see misspelled words. Bad writer? Poor editor? Nobody cares?

As for "world-famous" hot dogs, if they are "world famous" the comment "who would have thought" makes no sense.

I spent a year there in the late 60's courtest of the USAF. When I arrived the exchange rate was 47 Kronur to the dollar. Exactly 1 year later as I was leaving the rate was 97.8 Kr to the dollar.

I have lived there 3 differnt times. If there ever was a place perfect for child raising, I would have to say "Iceland". If there were every a place to find a beautiful wife, I would say "Iceland". If there were ever a place to just get away from the fast life and breathe fresh air (except when the fishing boats are in)it would be Iceland.

Now on the political side of things......When I was there I remember once a year locals protesting outside NAS Keflavik gates. They wanted us gone. Now I talk to friends who are from there and still live there......they want us back, we fed a lot of money into the local economy of Keflavik. I hope they get back on there feet.......Iceland is definitely one of the world's best kept secrets.
