Our Iceland adventure was a huge hit with 27 Gators, and we returned home on October 30, 2024, with unforgettable memories!

After an overnight flight, we touched down in Reykjavik on Thursday, October 24th, where our excitement kicked off with a city exploration followed by a thrilling Lava Tube Tour.

The next day, we dove deeper into Reykjavik's history and charm, visiting landmarks like the iconic Hallgrimskirkja and the Pearl Museum, capped off with a chance to marvel at the Northern Lights.

The excitement didn’t stop there! Saturday brought us to Iceland's stunning landscapes, with a glacier hike and a tour through the breathtaking Snaefellsnes Peninsula, where we explored the majestic Kirkjufell and the striking Black Sand Beach.

On Sunday, we visited the awe-inspiring Seljalandsfoss and Skogafoss waterfalls before heading to Vik.  

Monday’s adventure took us along the Golden Circle, featuring the geothermal wonder of Geysir, the spectacular Gullfoss waterfall, and the historical Thingvellir National Park.

Our final day, Tuesday, was spent discovering the Reykjanes Peninsula, including a relaxing soak in the world-famous Blue Lagoon, followed by a farewell dinner to toast to an amazing trip.

Message from the President Hello Gators, Enjoy the weather while it’s cool.  It’s been a fabulous time of year, so let’s get outside and do our outdoor activities.  Speaking of being outside, we have a picnic on Saturday, November 23rd  at Riverbend Park.  The charge is only $5 per person.  So come to our picnic and enjoy.  You can kayak or bring your bicycles and ride around the park and enjoy all your Gator friends.   The Iceland trip was a big success.  We had a wonderful time, even with rain, hail and ice.  That’s why they call it Iceland.   Our next general meeting is on Thursday, November 14th at Duffy’s on PGA and US 1.  Make sure you come and bring all your ski gear you no longer need, because we’re going to have a ski swap!  Stan from Peter Glenn will be coming to show us the new ski equipment and fashions.  I want to see everyone on November 14th. Thank You Very Much, Evie Houston, President
