With limited time, I'd choose Myvatn -- the volcanic landscape around the lake is spectacular, plus the thermal area a few miles away is more varied and interesting than Geysir along the Golden Circle. Try to stop by the Vogafjos Farm where you can watch cows being milked while you eat. https://www.vogafjosfarmresort.is/en/service/restaurant Thank you, @DaveSJ711! Appreciate your input. At this point I'm leaning that direction. 👍👍🙏🙏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used a copy of the appointment slip for the address but I think all you need is to know is the name and city of facility. As stated by others, you can use the VeriFly App. My experience with VeriFly is it is not worth the effort and at best, it will save you a few seconds at embarkation. thanks for that info. I was concerned about the vaccine card as it doesn’t have address of vaccination site (no room on card) - ours were done at a local high school by our firemen!

I think just saying "the fairground in xyz city" would work. It is a scripted question with no right answer. If you can't answer or if your answer rouses suspicion you might may have a problem. You have already been verified by your airline and passed through the Iceland entry process so it would take a lot for Viking to challenge the authenticity of your CDC card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSJ711 Posted June 12, 2021 #1731 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We just registered with the Iceland authorities for our arrival this Monday. Piece of cake! Let's hope the testing at the airport goes just as smoothly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what you have the card or cards that was given to you the day of the injection? Have you tried contacting the Health Dept of the county where the shots were given? We had our shots during a mass injection day and were given very informal cards which we actually had to partially fill in, not at all official. I later learned that I could call the county health dept which mailed me a much more official looking, fully filled out CDC card. That is what we plan to use.

The list of menus posted a while ago on here indicated a lot of lamb - probably because lamb is available pretty much all over the world. I'll pass on the volcanic braised sheep.....

Just an FYI, this is exactly what I attempted unsuccessfully with the chat rep. I then tried to do so with a phone rep. I repeatedly said to not cancel my dining reservation if there wasn’t a replacement time to move us into. Of course, once they had canceled they discovered they couldn’t find a new slot for us. After 20 minutes I HUACA and the next rep was able to regain our original dining reservations. Of course, part of our issue could have been our need for a table for three. YMMV.

I did it earlier this week by going into calendar, finding day of conflict, clicking the Restaurant reservation I had made, and canceling it. But I didn't care if I couldn't get exact time back. There are only two of us and we don't have a very specific timeframe for dining in mind. I was able to get same time back.

IWantToLiveOverTheSea Posted June 12, 2021 #1750 Share Posted June 12, 2021 (edited) Just something for the newbies: The Calendar section of MVJ allows you to print a nice summary of your calendar activities - dinner reservations, excursions, etc. See "Calendar Summary" and "Print" in top right corner of the Calendar section.
