Land of Ice HQ

***UPDATE (1/23/09): Thanks to a clutch link sent by Guðríður Steindórsdóttir (with an assist by Amanda McLaughlin) and especially thanks to the deligent and persistent work of Henry in rolling properly hard by sending email inquiries á íslensku, we have secured an apartment in the Land of Ice. It´s within our price range, fully furnished, and located in the country we are flying to. The very town we travel to, in fact. Thanks all!

Introducing the team:

This is Henry. Henry studies languages. Henry desires to know foreign languages better than most people know their mother tongue.

This is me. I write prose. My writing ambition far outweighs my actual talent.

Introducing the first problem of many to come:

We need an apartment. Otherwise, our first bold move in an infinite series of bold moves may be to sleep on the streets of Iceland in the dead of winter. As Obama would say, "That's not the kind of change we're looking for" (thanks for the joke, dear friend Ted - a possible Dark Horse in the infinite series of bold moves).

** Apartment parameters **

Where: Akureyri, Iceland
When: Feb 3, 2009 – May 5, 2009 [an odd timeframe; we can be slightly flexible on the begin & end dates]
Price range: 50.000 – 80.000 ISK [assuming roughly current ex rates]
Space: 2 bedrooms is preferable
If the apartment is already furnished, so much the better - but we can figure something out, if not.

Email Henry (hooper.johnston@gmail.com) or me (grahamps@gmail.com) if you can help.

Takk fyrir and much love as well,
