Our family’s 10-day Iceland trip was postponed due to our daughter’s sudden illness, teaching us the importance of flexibility and refundable tickets when traveling with kids. Learn how we managed to adjust our plans, from rescheduling flights to rethinking our itinerary, while preparing for the unique challenges of traveling to Iceland.

After I began researching what to pack for Iceland in September, and apparently most of the year around, I realized we need quite a few items and carry-on bags may not be enough. Iceland’s weather can be fairly intense throughout the year, switching from sunny skies to rain or snow Throughout the day. I’ve narrowed down the list of items to pack for a 10 day trip in the fall to the essentials, but not excluding all items that will ensure our comfort for the duration of the trip and for any type of weather we may face.
