England - Final Weekend

Well it has been really fun here in the Uk for the past 5 weeks.  A lot of work, but also great amounts of fun as well.  The people here with TNT UK are amazing and to be a part of their team even for a short time has been outstanding.  It is only my hope that I can work with such great people wherever I end up.  Today we had a little meeting in our conference room and our boss Stewart took some time to thank us for coming over and gave each of us a gift and a card saying thanks for the help.  My gift was an Arsenal football (soccer) jersey, they are expensive here for Americans to buy which is why I have never purchased one the in the past, so it is greatly appreciated.  Tonight we having a big end of season party at the local pub down the street, and it looks to be an excellent night and a great send off to all of us that are leaving the country in the next few days.  

While my other American counterparts are all heading back to the states, I am heading north up to Iceland for a week, a week which I have been immensely looking forward for months now.  Today I left work early and went into town and got a travel guide and some maps to help aid my journey.  I am just renting a car and driving around, seeing as much as I can see and experience as much as possible.  I don't think that this trip can live up to the expectations I have for it  but it still promises to be a once in a lifetime opportunity.  Hopefully gas won't be too costly up there, as I am going to try and get around the entire island before I leave.  Looking through the travel guide I purchased there looks like so many amazing places to see and even if I get to half of them I will feel accomplished.  I am not sure how much internet access I will have once I land, or even places to recharge my computer and camera battery, but hopefully I will  be able to make some posts.  I love traveling, I love meeting new people, and I love exploring new places, totally stoked.
