My World of Wonders - aka Wednesday Ws, April 26 edition

Where in the World am I? If All has gone to plan, Iceland. 

What have I been up to?  I finished up budgeting (well I am finished, a message from the office and it has gone fubar with changes to how things are to be done in the middle of doing them, if I were there I would be melting down - today it is someone else's problem,) and a board meeting, a data breach at the office, then flew off to escape. I didn't bring my office computer with me, meaning I can't really work. I described this as a week off-grid.  

What have we seen?  The volcanic south east corner of Iceland, sheep, harbors, fishing boats, cliffs, chuches, lighthouses, a ferry to a volcanic Island, a hotel room with a volcano view, one very fast Puffin, and today we check into the hotel Geysir.  

Who have I talked to? My sweet bear, and lots of people I don't know and who don't know me. 

What have I been eating? Fish, fish soup, great bread, a nice salad, and reindeer burger. 

What about my phone and office email? My sweet bear said he would break my fingers if I was replying to office email on the trip.  

Where are we headed? The black sand beaches of Vik. 

What am I reading? I finished Leslie Jordan's bio on the plane on the way here, next up is "Sorry I am late, I didn't want to be here."

Why am I doing this?  I needed this, I planned this, I needed to use up a week of paid time off.  

What was the flight like? A much more comfortable level of pain.  I hate overnight flights, I find them painful.  I spent a little extra and booked Saga Premium  aka Business Class- the food was great, the service was great, the seats were larger and still hard to sit in for 6 non-stop hours. We slept a little and arrived in better shape than usual.  

What is next?  Shudder,  my attitude has improved since getting away.  We have a few more days of exploring, then back.  I have some speaking events on the calendar in May and June, and September and October.  A work trip to Denver in August.  A few more months of fighting the good fight, and not letting the little stuff get to me. 

What else? It is snowing this morning.
