Several months ago, my girlfriend and I planned a trip to Iceland, but we instead broke up last month. The trip was already paid for and since I did not want to travel alone, I invited my brother to come with me. When we got our COVID test a day before leaving, he tested positive (we know it was a false positive) and basically he was denied travel.
So in the end, I went to Iceland alone. I was pretty bummed, but decided I was going to make the most of it. My flight left NYC at 7 pm and arrive in Iceland before 6 AM local time. The airport was nearly empty so by the time I got my bag, went through immigration and customs and got my rental car it was about 7:45. I learned that this time of year, the sun does not rise in Iceland till about 10 AM and nothing opens until around 10-11 AM.
