However, what it lacks in resume readiness and career preparation, it more than makes up for in living preparation and the ability to wear a sarong all day, all the time. Success stories abound as we have yet to lose a camper and survived our first electrical storm last night.

And what better way to capture the limelight than to play host to a meeting of the two most powerful men in the world? There were times last week when it seemed as if publicity-savvy Icelanders, not Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, had initiated the summit that was not a summit strictly to promote their little island: Iceland the beautiful; Iceland the restful; Iceland, home of friendly blond-haired people with unpronounceable names who believe in elves...
