So I'm gonna be trying to get to fanfest this year, and by trying, I mean it will happen so help me gods.
However, I have never been out of the country before, and the only plane I've ever been on was a single engine Cessna. The prospect of traveling to Iceland on my own has me scared shitless for a multitude of reasons. To combat this fear, I'm looking for a few people who are also going that I can tag along with so I don't have to make the trip alone.

I'll probably be leaving from either JFK or Logan, probably Logan cause there is the rather distinct probability of me living in Boston.

While I have no concrete plans at the moment, I intend to go to FF '11. As we get closer to the dates and have packages available, coordination this sort of thing will probably become easier.

[Saede Riordan]

yes, but I had it bashed into my head by my OCD mother that the further ahead you plan something the better off you'll be

Back in the day, when I was likely to want to head over to Iceland for Fanfest, I always found that they announced the dates far too late in the year for me to make the arrangements. I am one of those people that have to arrange cover if I take time off, and that always needs a reasonable amount of advanced notice. One year, I took a guess, based on the previous events, and speculatively booked a week off. Fanfest, when it was announced, was in a completely different month.

I have a rule of thumb not to book before two weeks in advance and I won't pack until about an hour before I leave.

Otherwise I will turn myself into a nervous wreck.

About a backpacks worth is enough for a weeks trip (the kind you can take as hand luggage.)

Dress for the weather, wear layers, always have your feet warm.

Once the fanfest dates come up, i'll like to go, think i got enough saved to not bleed myself to death.

I need to see where do the flight connections take place and at what times, as probably will have to do Santiago -> Miami -> New York -> Reikjavik a day or two in advance.

I've been out of the country quite a bit and know how to deal with airports and customs in general. If my route works for you then we can try to pair up.

Pretty sure they already announced it, its March 23 through March 26th, I know because march 26th is my 21 birthday and I remember going "fuck yeah, first time being able to drink legally and I get to do it in Iceland with a bunch of eve people!"

[Casiella]

I believe that's correct. But they don't have the packages and such available.

  I suddenly got this image of me dragging a very wasted nikita back to her room and let her sleep the hangover.

* Casiella had another image but nvm

Yeah, they seem to announce things a bit earlier now. Probably because people like me whinged.

Oh, and the legal drinking age in Iceland is likely to be lower than in the US, so even if it was before your birthday, you would probably have been fine. ^^

[Saede Riordan]

legal drinking age in Iceland was 21 last I checked.
