I am at Seattle Airport, waiting for my flight on Icelandair, leaving at 4:30 PM. It has been a seamless journey so far -- no canceled flights, I had a row all to myself from LAX. The only snag is that I got a special bank account to use on my trips through Capitol One -- they don't charge for foreign transactions -- and I left it at home. Thankfully I brought my Credit Union ATM card, so I won't have a repeat of what happened in Cairo! I feel rather dumb. I put it in a special pouch I was going to wear around my neck and, this morning, decided to leave that behind. Aggh!!

On Saturday I am joining a group of women for a knitting course, learning to make mittens in the Icelandic style. It lasts for 4 days and we will also get a chance to go to a local craft fair and visit the Craft Museum. A couple of English ladies have reached out and want to have dinner on Friday night! We will be meeting at Icelandic Fish and Chips -- they have a page on Facebook and a web site. Check it out!
