Under Construction ...... (updated on 13 Sep 2012)
To celebrate OUR 3rd anniversary - 2012 Aurora Trip 北極光之旅
Question: Why Aurora?
Answer : Check it out!
Question: Why Tromso?
Answer : HIS colleague went there before and highly recommended this city for Aurora, and they will travel together this time for the Tromso part.
Question: Why Iceland?
Answer : 1) ISK depreciates a lot; 2) more chance to see Aurora
Aurora Forecast:
 |
| Both Tromso and Iceland are in the same arctic circle. |
Question: Why Paris?
Answer : 1) WE were unable to book Le Murice in Sep 2008; 2) SHE wants to ask a photographer to take pictures for us in front of La Tour Eiffel
This trip will be divided into 3 parts, first part in Tromso, Norway and it is supposed to be the most relaxing part. The second part will be continued in Iceland, where WE will fly and drive around Iceland in 6 days. WE will then fly to Paris, France to complete OUR last part for lots of pictures, Michelin restaurants and crazy shopping.

18 Aug 2012 update - after reviewing, WE finally decided to add 1 more domestic flight from Reykjavik Domestic Airport to Akureyri, Iceland @ EUR49 (Netoffers class ...... only 1 ticket available) + EUR85 (Bonus Class) to reduce the unnecessary driving time, but it is powered by turboprob engines, :P

| The Fokker 50 is the latest aircraft in the Fokker family which has had a long history in Iceland. These aircrafts are spacious, fast, especially quiet, and are well-suited for passenger flights. |
