JP,
I spent some time there in the 80's, and it is a magnificent place.
Rather than party every day, all day, get to see some of the unique items that are no where else in the world:
1. Geothermal pools and how they use it to heat the houses and greenhouses.
2. The Island and Volcano of Surtsi; it was born in the 80's, and still growing.
3. The bleak landscapes, where our astronaughts trained for the moon mission (looks just like the moon's surface. There are no trees on Iceland.
4. Check out the Icelandic ponies, tiny little guys with 24" long hair, and a gorgeous chesnut color. You could even buy their hides (when they died of old age, of course).
5. Check out their women - they are a mix of Scandanavian, German, Irish, you name it, and the melting pot has made them beautiful. And almost all of them speak English.
6. The US air base, since it is the first line of defense against the resurgent Russian Bear.
It's a special place, deserving in-depth touristing.
