Chris,
How do I submit photos for the new Travel Humor blog?

For now just email them to me and let me know how you want to be credited in the post if I use them. I plan to put up a submit form because others are asking too.

Really enjoyed the interview and information. Keep ’em coming.

Hi Chris. Loved the Iceland episode. Being a man of the Caribbean I am always attracted to places near the Arctic Circle. It is definitely now in my “to do” list, right after Alaska.

Mine too, I loved spending a few hours going through Iceland photos for ones to use in the iTunes version.

Good show; it reawakened my desire to see more of Iceland than my brief trip awhile ago.

I would say the public pools are one of the most memorable experiences, but I think Dave’s visit must have been different from mine. At all the public pools in Reykjavik, we had to take a shower in the locker room before getting in the water to keep the pools clean. Fair enough, but, you had to do it naked, with an attendant watching. It was quite the scenario for my first trip outside of North America and has become an oft-quoted travel story.

Thanks so much for this interview. I’m heading to Iceland next week to get a look at the Aurora and do my first bit of international traveling (extreme amateur here). Reykjavik and Akureyri are on my week-long itinerary. It will be interesting seeing the difference between summer and winter Icelandic trips – most everything I’ve been researching has a lot more information about the summers. Plus, I’m an Arizona boy with only a few (relatively mild) snow years in me heading pretty close to the arctic circle! I’m already regretting that I didn’t give myself more time there (newbie!), and am sure I’ll learn quite a few more lessons along the way.
