Thanks Patty and yes we are definitely planning to return someday, renting a couple 4x4 campers with friends is the current idea! Hopefully I'm describing the trip well enough to show that, in my opinion, you do need more than a week to do the Ring Road and like you said a month would be perfect. If we only had a week we would stick to the South and West. I have read reports and actually met a couple there that finished the road trip in a week via camper, they had a blast covering I think 1200 miles, we covered 2100. Even for a family that is used to a fast pace on some vacations, we wished we had more time to slow down a hair to see more. We didn't go up into the highlands where I hear it's incredible. We did go into part of West Iceland (future post) but that area is huge just like the East Fjords. If someone wants to knock it out in a week that's cool, just know that there's amazing stuff literally around every corner! Cheers!
