In the past several years, travel by Islanders to Iceland has grown from a rarity to a phenomenon. 鈥淪o you want to go to Iceland鈥︹�� is a guide for both the never-been-there-yet set, and for experienced travellers looking for new ways to scratch their Iceland itch. The program includes Icelandic basics, a sample itinerary, a chance to question veteran Icelandic trippers, and a showcase of Iceland photos, submitted by the public. Send up to eight of your best shots to davidkcairns@gmail.com, and let him know if you want to do an oral commentary about your own adventure in Iceland. And if you don鈥檛 want to talk in the formal part of the evening, come anyway! There鈥檒l be an opportunity for informal discussion and travel-tip-sharing during the intermission and afterward.
