AH Northern Lights Reykjavik trip - **7th - 10th February 2013** \o/

Right, who's in? And when are we going?
Bags/dibs/nigs/pegs not organising it :P

I nominate whoopsadaisydoodles as organiser

Edited to add the following:

So the deal: Poll is multiple choice. Please choose all dates you are able to attend. If you want your vote to count, and you haven't done so already, pm me (whoopsadaisydoodles) to confirm your interest. If we have a clear winner, that will be the date that I get confirmed pricing for. If we have a tie, I will
put up another poll to choose the preferred date. I'll leave the first poll open for five days or until everyone who has pm'd me has voted - whichever comes first.

I'm going to go with a multi-choice pole. Simple reason being that if 10 people can go any date in January but all choose different dates, it dilutes those votes, and if three people vote for xmas/ny it will win. If you get what I'm trying to say.

So pick all the dates you can go, and then we'll go with the highest. That ok?

I'm making the poll public, and I'm going to count the people who have pm'd me a genuine interest in going to choose the date - that fair?

Edit: Oh, and then if five dates all win, we'll throw up another one choice poll to see when people would prefer

Not a mum.......... so I can't go.

Schism

The shop or the country?

If it's the shop, sure I'll carry four in the car myself. If it's the country it might need some more planning.

Might be possible to do it cheaper than that. www.icelandexpress.com are a budget airline, they send me offers and sales all the time. Only the other day they had a sale on for flights in Autumn, return from Stansted worked out at €180. All you'd need then it to tack on a Dublin-Stansted return with Ryanair and you'd get there and back for €230.

All you need to do to see the northern lights is to get away from the city center at night, even 20km out of Reikavik should do it.

I might be up for this as have always wanted to go to Iceland. Wouldn't mind renting a car and going to see Gulfoss Waterfall and the Blue Lagoon, both of them aren't that far outside the capital and if you stayed out in a B&B near either then you'd likely see the Northern Lights at night time as a matter of course.

Also Iceland has gotten slightly cheaper than it used to be since their economy went kaboom so now is a good time to go before the return of their €6 pints :pac:

That looks amazing. I don't think four days is enough.
And yon naked lass has a lovely arse.
