One room has been cleaned. Two bags have been packed. An infinite number of goodbyes have been said. Many "one last times" have been experienced. Numerous emotions are being felt. One girl is going home.

I never even imagined me getting to this moment, but yet I find myself here.

Tomorrow I leave my host family...indefinitely. We're going to the AFS "forest" to plant a tree and from then onwards our paths may not cross. I have slight worries about my luggage. I barely have anything in the one but it is so close to being overweight. If I have to pay I just have to pay. I think I'm just fretting about it because I really don't want to think about other things. Like getting on that plane in less than 48 hours. It is however something that has to be done.

I am going home.

I remember when I left Keflavik many years ago, I went on a rollercoaster ride of emotions - glad to be getting back to the US and not wanting to leave Iceland, etc.

I'll be spending a week in Reykjavik this September and cannot wait to get back there. Just the smell of sulfur in the air, I guess :P

Being there is definitely an experience of a lifetime. Cherish and remember it.
Oh, and don't pay any mind to some of the ignorant and annoying questions people may ask you about living in Iceland. You get used to it :)

I wish I could be spending a week in Reykjavik! I miss that city to death! I will most definitely never forget my stay in Iceland. I wish you good weather during your trip! Last september it rained quite a bit, hopefully you'll get some sun! Oh, if you like good home made sorbet, Sandholt cafe on laugarvegur is a good stop. They always have some interesting flavors too, last time I was in they had a wasabi flavored ice cream.
