About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

This video highlights our 11-day trip to Iceland in March 2023 and the 20 things we learned on that adventure. We explored Reykjavik, the Golden Circle, South Coast, Blue Lagoon and Sky Lagoon. Part of our trip was conducted independently, and part was on tour with Collette Travel. Our tips address cost, transportation, food, shopping, safety, thermal pools, northern lights and culture. Several of our recommendations can save you money. Charlie and Jennifer Pryde have lived in The Villages for three years and in Central Florida for seventeen years. Our main activities in The Villages are biking, fitness parks, pickle ball, platform tennis, golf and swimming. We love to travel throughout Florida, the United States and internationally. Our Youtube channelโ€™s focus is on promoting a physically active lifestyle for mature adults, but we will also indulge ourselves in a good restaurant, bakery or watering hole that we find during our travels.
