It's great having friends who love to travel as much as I do. I always welcome advice and recommendations for new destinations with the hopes that I may get there one day. Living on the East Coast of the United States, an easy alternative to seeing the glaciers of Alaska is to experience a trip to Iceland. With non-stop flights from many airports, it looks like an fantastic family travel destination. Just look how amazing!  One of the 25 wonders of the world, the blue lagoon is stunning. Set in the middle of a lava field, this geothermal spring looks so inviting. It may be chilly outside, but the water is a toasty 98–102 °F.  Where else can you have your swim suit on one minute and view ice-blue glaciers the next?  In the capital city of Reykjavik, visit Hallgrimskirkja, Iceland's largest church. It is known for its gorgeous design and expansive pipe organ. An elevator goes to the top for an incredible view of the city.  Sometimes the best vacations are when you try something different. You may not find large shopping outlets, high-rise hotels, or boisterous bars. But quiet and serene, it's a one-of-a-kind experience.  I can only imagine traveling through this beautiful country with its natural wildlife, volcanoes, snow capped mountains and glaciers. Thanks to John's pictures, I can virtually explore Iceland through his family travels and look forward to taking my family there one day.

My Virtual Vacations Blog
About the AuthorThanks for cruising by!
I'm the creator behind this blog, where I share our family’s love for travel, especially cruising. By day, I work full-time in an office—and all the time, I'm a proud mom to two amazing young men. We took our first cruise when they were energetic little boys, and I’ve included plenty of tips for traveling with kids in tow. With our packed work and school schedules, we cherish every holiday break and make the most of our time off. We gravitate toward cruises and luxury hotel stays, always on the lookout for family-friendly experiences that offer comfort, elegance, and a touch of indulgence—think spacious suites, gorgeous décor, excellent service, and memorable dining. When we're not traveling, you’ll find me enjoying local restaurants or getting creative in my own kitchen with cooking and baking. Start dreaming—and planning—your next luxurious getaway, whether by sea or on land, with My Virtual Vacations. I'm always happy to answer questions or offer personalized recommendations to help you make the most of your travels. Be sure to check back often for new blog posts, travel tips, and inspiration—there are always more family adventures on the horizon!
