We can’t seem to stay away from the cold. First Antarctica and now Iceland.  But when you’re working against a bucket list when an opportunity to check off a “must” destination presents itself, you have to jump. That’s what happened when Sage Lewis announced a June trip to Iceland. We’ve been holding out on doing Iceland until we could do it with Sage. Now’s the time.

Sage, founder of Project Por Amor https://projectporamor.com  is first and foremost a talented musician. Check out https://sagelewismusic.com. He also runs a unique travel service specializing in both Iceland and Cuba.  He has extensive knowledge of the music and culture of both countries. The grub on his trips is said to be pretty good too.

There’s an added benny in traveling with Sage. He’s the son of Barrs and Holly Lewis. Barrs and I were business partners for 10 years, first consulting as PNC Associates and then forming Harmonic Systems, a company we built and ran for five years before cashing out. They’re going on this trip too and we’ve wanted to travel with them for years.  

The travel stars are aligned so off we go.

This is a two-part affair. The first nine days (June 13 – 22) will be with Sage, exploring Reykjavik and southern Iceland for the most part. Here’s a link to Sage’s trip: https://new.express.adobe.com/webpage/v5nDUjICTgOci?

Judy and I will then take off in a rental car to explore the north on our own (June 22 – 30). There will be more culture on the first part and more nature and scenery on the second. But our plans for the north are pretty loose so no telling what we’ll run into as we go. Here’s a map of the entire trip:

Sage is taking us to the blue spots. We’re on our own for the red.

As usual, I’ll be (trying to) post every day. If you’ve signed up before, you’ll get a daily email when I do post. If you don’t get daily emails from us on our trips, shoot me a message and I’ll add you to the list. You can access the blog at jonandjudy.com at any time, email or not.

See you in Iceland!
