I hope I don't become the boy who cried wolf, we've scrapped the Yellowstone trip and are now planning a 10 night Iceland road trip! I'm probably 99% on this idea because my wife and daughter have just booked lodging in two towns so far! We had considered Iceland weeks ago, but with the long days of sunlight in July the Northern lights won't be visible....but we have decided what the heck...ROAD TRIP! Our plan is to drive the Iceland Ring Road circumnavigating all of Iceland. Blue lagoons, fjords, glaciers, waterfalls, black sand beaches, geothermal areas, whale season and Puffin's! If you have any helpful tips we would really appreciate it, quite the learning curve on prepping for this trip!! Cheers and GO CAPS!

Sailbum, thanks for your info. Our lodging itinerary is just about set, finding places for 3 adults last minute has proven interesting, but doable! There will be short driving days and very long ones, but it's all about the journey and with the 24 hours of light it should be awesome!
3 nights in a cabin up 35 towards Gulfoss falls. 3 days to cover Golden Circle and all the sights to Vik. 1 night guesthouse near Hofn, Skaftafell National Park and Glacier Lagoon etc.
1 night farm stay east fjords, Horseback riding, maybe boat trip.
1 night small cottage on a stream just outside Egilstadir, Sightsee east fjords.
1 night Guest cottage in Akureyri. on the way visit Myvatin geothermal area and Selfoss falls area. maybe morning Whale watching trip.
1 night "somewhere" between Akureyri and Reykjavik...tough decision.
2 nights in Air bnb center of old town Reynkovik to slow down again and relax, Brew pubs and coffee houses! Saving Blue Lagoon for last full day.
Any additional tips would be appreciated!

Not on my bucket list! But I know we will all enjoy your photos and trip report.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.
