    Legacy Travel - The desolate tundra that was the scene of snowmobiling

    Let me begin by saying that I have chosen Legacy Travel before. I had a restful babymoon with my…read morehusband years ago when we relaxed in Mexico. So I thought I would call on Legacy again for a special occasion: my [redacted, LOL!] birthday. Iceland was on my bucket list. I dreamed to witness the Northern Lights. Our agent, Audrey, talked with us to get our vibe for the trip and then came up with an itinerary. We were initially so excited to go! But then... I was skeptical about aspects of my trip to Iceland: What would the weather be (would we even make it out of Dallas)?Would I be able to sleep soundly in the middle of Reykjavik? How would I be received as a Black woman?Would I be able to eat without going bankrupt? Would I even see the Northern Lights? I had begun to seriously doubt my commitment to turning [redacted] in the land of fire and ice. When we were able to escape from DFW despite the threat of ice storms and 13-degree weather, I started to join Audrey in her confidence that all would be well. For Black women like me who are concerned with how their Black bodies will be treated in Iceland: I felt safe and even cared for. I think racism is everywhere, but I felt quite a reprieve there, and I was neither gawked at nor shunned. Just engaged with as a fellow human. Since favor ain't fair, the sun followed me the entire time in Iceland and it was far warmer than home. Even when it was cloudy and misty with cold rain, I witnessed the Northern Lights in all their glory. Our spartan yet spotless hotel was nestled in the heart of the very walkable city of Reykjavik, and the included breakfast shielded our wallets from further damage (because food in Iceland IS absolutely expensive--but soooo good. I will dream of the pastries from Sandholt and the homey seafood dishes at Messinn and Mar).Audrey worked with us so that we had times of rest and exploration of the city, and times of excursion. We witnessed the Northern Lights and I cried. It was spectacular. Everything I had hoped for. We went to the Blue Lagoon for my birthday, which was fascinating and relaxing. It was busy, but not overcrowded. As a stretch, I requested we go snowmobiling and visit an ice cave (if I could have a do-over, I would have opted to do this at the Golden Circle, but this was still cool). IT WAS EXHILARATING! What a privilege to zoom through the beautiful desolation of a harsh tundra that, if left to my own devices, would absolutely kill me. It was exciting, humbling, enlivening. My cousin went on the trip with my husband and I because she's my bestie, and we also scheduled time at our sister-hotel's spa (Center Hotel Grandi) for a full body massage, and post snowmobiling, decided to relax at Sky Lagoon for their Ritual, and had the distinct pleasure of soaking in warm waters as the flurries of the evening landed delicately on our lashes. Audrey's work made our trip unforgettable in the best way. I LOVED IT. The term that keeps coming up for me is "blessed." It was a blessed trip. Audrey's work and attention set the environment for a life-giving travel experience. My birthday was so memorable. We are in love with Iceland.

    Well I had to change the reservations 3,4, maybe 5 times. None of that was because of COVID either…read more Ken stood by us the entire time. Making everyone's dreams come true. A pros pro he is. You'd be lucky to deal with him. He's got the Motts! Secrets was perfect. Gorgeous views, gorgeous beach, gorgeous pools, gorgeous food, it was everything we wanted from our vacation.
