Countdown to Iceland Adventure

My fascination with Iceland is about to turn into an encounter when I step off the Iceland Air flight next week. Reykjavik, Iceland is as far as imaginable from my tropical coast Florida home. Since I am among the first to wear coats at 60 degrees, its certainly not the near arctic weather that attracts me northward. Its the people, culture, education and care for elder adults that impress me about Iceland.

As a National Certified Gerontological Counselor, I am keenly interested in elder care options. The more I learn about how Iceland cares for its elders, the more impressed I have become. In communication with the Gerontology School at University of Iceland, I developed a long distance rapport that led to an invitation to speak at the NordMag Conference. I will expand on this exciting educational conference in coming posts.

There is so much I want to learn and see in Iceland. Being part of the university program is much like our Residency week at Regent University where I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Psychology & Counseling (teaching online from my Florida office!). And so, dear readers, I will share my Iceland adventure with you, including photos and impressions. 

Meanwhile I started getting in the international mindset by enjoying the delicious foods at Epcot Food and Wine Festival. Thank goodness Belle was standing in the shade for our photo, it was 90 degrees. Yes, 90 degrees in November - - -reminds me of

the tag line I use to close with on WLCY News, "Isn't it great in the Sunshine State"
