Thanks. I'm really excited about the trip, especially after reading all of the postings here. FYI, as several people suggested I ordered a copy of Lost in Iceland back in mid-February. Amazon projected a shipping date of between March 6 and 12. Today they emailed me that they do not know when (or if) they will be able to ship.
5thElefant and Ian, are these rental agencies that you or a friend have used? I'd really like to stick to a company that someone has had previous experience with. When I rent a car from Budget, National, Hertz, Avis, etc. I know what to expect but here I will be renting from a local company and anyone can put a decent looking ad on the web.
Jeremy, I'm not sure what tri-band is, but I will check with Verizon if my phone will handle that. I expect not as my phone has never worked in Europe. Seems like US cellular technology is not as advanced as the Europeans' .
