[quote=Anonymous]DH and I want to do a trip to Iceland in June for our anniversary, no kids. We’ll use points as much as possible so hotels will depend on that, but something in the Amex FHR and or Marriott or Hilton is preferred. Could prob squeeze a 6th day if possible (traveling while our kids will be gone doing their own school trip).

This AI itinerary has us in one location for the full 5 days but perhaps we move hotels half-way thru so that we can experience both the city and countryside.

Any thoughts on this? For anyone who has done Iceland before, what’s missing? We are looking for great food, scenery, spas and tours. We aren’t huge hikers.

Thanks!!!
