I began my flight to Iceland, as always, with the best of intentions to get a solid flight of sleep. No dice, Mallory, you optimistic fool. My sleep supplies (TRTL sleep pillow https://trtltravel.com/ eye mask, melatonin and sleepy time playlist) were no match for good old fashioned anxiety, an uncomfortable airplane seat and a spontaneous case of restless leg syndrome. I turned on a movie and half watched it while sort of dozing/zoning out and watching the small line of light on the horizon grow bigger and bigger as the first few hours passed. As we flew over the Eastern wing of Canada (Newfoundland, as far as I can figure) the sun really started to get to work and from there on the views outside were too interesting for me to want to fall asleep anyway.

It's a drizzly, gray day here in Reykjavik. Perfect Iceland welcome weather. My friend Gummi picked me up from the airport and brought me to Erin and Guðjón's apartment where I will stay tonight. I'm about to go have some lunch with another friend, Stefán. Erin and I are going to dinner with the new 2018 Snorris at 6:30. Lots to do. I'm going to do my best to stay busy until a respectable time tonight when I can go to sleep like a normal person. We'll see if I make it.
