Another in a string of work trips starts tomorrow. Normally I wouldn’t bother with a post just about one. This trip is a bit different though – I’m going to the UK.

Aside from a trip to Hawaii when I was in grad school this is my first trip outside of North America. It’s also my first international trip I needed a passport for – one isn’t needed to get into Canada or Mexico, both of which I’ve visited.

More exciting than the trip to the UK is my side trip to Iceland, with which, as most who know me know, I’m mildly obsessed. Plus, while there I’ll get to visit my friend Ester who seems to have the whole weekend planned out as near as I can tell. ;)

I leave tomorrow evening for Newark, NJ. From there I catch a British Airways flight to London Heathrow. I take a shuttle to Standwick Airport, hang out for a couple hours and then take an Iceland Express flight to Reykjavík, well, Keflavík technically. Then I pass out for a while, wake up, spend the weekend in Iceland, and then head back to London Monday morning.

A week in London, not sure what I’ll do the weekend I’m there, but I’m sure I’ll think of something. :)
