Accommodations: We'll be camping some nights (as in tent and sleeping bags) and staying in cottages, a hotel and farm houses on other nights. Whats the best way to reserve rooms? I prefer email, its the best way. We'll check availability giving them a general time frame so we can be more flexible with the rest of the trip. (I am definitely mentioning that we have a baby, you never know what they have to offer or what will be a negative. Its good just to mention it so they are aware.)
Here are some websites we used:
Hostelling International - They offer car rental and hostel packages. This is a really good deal if you aren't traveling by a strict schedule or a short timeline.
Visit Iceland - This is a great site with all things for touring Iceland. A local gave us this site to reference, she uses it too.
North Iceland Travel Guide - This is exclusively for the North West region. It has info for everything from hostels, to hotels, to campsites.
Icelandic Farm Holidays - A very informative site with a map to see where the listings are located. This is my favorite way to plan, I'm such a visual person.
* a lot of places have information on their websites telling you what landmarks and attractions are near by. I am planning our stays according to what we want to see in the area.
I hope when you're in Iceland you get to see this: http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110517.html
