Hi Mike
Yes, I noticed that Mexico was a little....challenging....still, I know you are game for an adventure - perhaps we were lucky that the only thing that went wrong in Iceland was the non-helicopter friendly weather!
Speaking of Iceland and your love of re-unions, why don't you round up Bob and Sally after Borneo and all come to a different island for a bit of a get together. It might be a bit more costly for Mr Gray but I believe they do direct flights from Cork and Dublin to Jersey in the Summer which might help him out. August is Battle of Flowers month and then we have the International Air Display on 2nd Thursday in September (Red Arrows etc). I'll be around then but am heading off for my ultimate Bucket List trip, Rapa Nui, the following week.
I can't offer you hot springs, waterfalls or Northern Lights but seafood.....oh yes, we've certainly got seafood.. (and cows) :)
All the best
Mandy
