Making Plans for My Next Trips

Now that I missed out on my birthday trip to Japan, my travel friend and I are talking about our next several trips, which have already been planned, booked and on the books for a while, but we're now starting to add some more details to them like the shore excursions and add-ons. March is my next trip, but it's a small one so let's move on to talk about May 2025 where I will reach my 100th country (I hope!). I was scheduled to accomplish this goal in May but then the loss of this month's trip took away 3 countries. I've recounted my list and I think I can still do it. May is our cruise from Dover, England to Iceland. Here's the itinerary: Sun DOVER (LONDON), ENGLAND Mon sea day Tue BELFAST, NORTHERN IRELAND Wed sea day Thu SEYDISFJORDUR, ICELAND Fri AKUREYRI, ICELAND Sat GRUNDARFJORDUR, ICELAND Sun REYKJAVIK, ICELAND Mon HEIMAEY, WESTMAN ISLANDS Tue sea day Wed KIRKWALL, ORKNEY ISLANDS, UK Thu sea day Fri DOVER (LONDON), ENGLAND Okay, that's the cruise part. My two new countries there would be Northern Ireland and Iceland. Then after we arrive back to Dover we would fly over to Brussels, Belgium for a couple of days (a new country to me).

Now, have you tried going to Iceland before? Or am I thinking of a storm redirecting your cruise to Greenland?

You are correct on both. We were originally supposed to take a cruise that went to BOTH Iceland AND Greenland but then COVID struck so that got cancelled. Then two years ago we took the ill-fated cruise that got redirected by a hurricane and never made it to Greenland.
