Synopsis

"My family loves this book. We are planning a trip next year and the level of detail provided in this book is amazing!" An international trip can seem overwhelming. Will your cell phone work? What kind of power converter do you need? What if your kid gets sick? And then there's the figuring out what to do once you're there. Why does everyone have a list of "must see" places? If you saw them all, you'd be in Iceland for a year. Or maybe forever. We want to simplify the process. We walk you through the process of preparing for your trip to Iceland: You'll find pages and pages of information about your cell phone, power adapters, and how to find the medicine you need. And we'll help you develop a touring itinerary, with sample itineraries based on length of stay and reviews and recommendations for hundreds of destinations in Iceland. This is a different kind of travel book. Adults will love the detailed planning information, and we hope kids (and adults) will enjoy the more than 300 full color pictures throughout the book. You won't find a list of every single hotel in Iceland or every single restaurant. You'll likely look at online reviews for those. And you won't find a list of every single attraction. You can't see it all, so please don't try! We give you plenty to cover in a vacation of any length. It's also different because the author will answer your questions! Contact us at IcelandWithKids.com or by email and we'll respond. Really!

About this title

About the Author

I've spent my career in finance. In 2009, I took my wife and 3 kids to Iceland for a week. My wife was six months pregnant, and I was on crutches from having a pin put in my hip a couple of months earlier. But we still had a great time. Fast forward to 2016, when I was lucky enough to take a sabbatical from work. We decided to spend the summer in Iceland ... now with 5 children! We managed to avoid the crutches and the pregnancy this time, but we traveled with our new baby (3 months old when we arrived!) in addition to our four older children, ages 7, 10, 12, and 14. We spent the first half of our trip travelling around Ring Road and experiencing all of the points of interest we could make it to, so we could let our readers know which ones we think are worth a look. In the second half of the trip, we settled down near Reykjavik and explored the more urban tourist attractions. We created a web site, which has attracted a loyal following of families (with and without kids!) planning their Iceland vacation. And now a printed guide book.
