Day 152: Iceland, here we come!

Departure day started early. We picked up Mary by 10 and were at the airport by 11. Security has been very high all day. We had to go through the body scanners for the first time in both Buffalo and NYC. At JFK, we were two hours early before check-in, so lounged and read for a couple hours. It felt good after the frantic pace of the past few months. I'm reading Major Pettigrew's Last Stand. It's a cross cultural romance set in england between a conservative,retired military officer and a widowed Pakistani shopkeeper. It's engaging and surprising. We got email from Evan that reported a heat wave in Iceland! Guess we won't need all the fleece after all. Hopefully, we will be able to sleep a bit so we can hit the ground running in the morning!
