Reminder

In a lot of the Iceland travel forums I'm following people are flummoxed by the smaller size of carryons and personal items on European flights and, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't want to be a carryon girlie and get to the airport only to find out I had to pay to check a bag I had carefully edited down from a check bag, but... IcelandAir is very clear about this policy - it's there when you buy the ticket, in the reminder emails, and in the app.

At least my experiment trying to beat jetlag by timeshifting means I can watch the Tour at 4am

Me, four days before leaving:

Humid 5:30 am walk around the pond, getting dive bombed by red wing blackbirds...

Surviving the heat and not being invited to the wedding by breaking out the kiddie pool and blaring Taylor Swift...

Another mom told me they have a pool membership to a county country club (just the pool, not golf, etc) and I thought, "what a great idea!" and looked up how much it costs...

TIL that my state literally has more Independent voters than Republican voters.

Gorgeous night, so we walked down to our neighborhood spot to sit on the deck. The only spot was next to a table that was loud and swearing. We totally swear in front of our kid but this was things like "you're making my nipples hard you cunt!" And still, we literally didn't say anything, even when they started vaping, and then one said "babies don't belong at bars."
