stoweflake ,
if your TA told you that nobody goes to Iceland i would first, get a new tA, and second, just llook at the tours to Iceland and how fast they book up. i went to Iceland in 2010, and it was one of the BEST places i have ever gone to, 2nd only to TOKYO!!! funny, i will be going to costa Rica in March as part of an 11-day cruise.

I've seen both: I'd go back to Iceland in a heart-beat.

I would too LSURENJE!!!!

thank you all. putting on Iceland on the backburner due to family commitments. We decided to travel within the US. thanks

Hi

Im planning on heading to Iceland in December and was in Costa Rica in December last year.

Im not even sure you can compare the two! They seem very very different places.

Costa Rica was an amazing place but I would not say it was a comparable holiday with what I am planning for Iceland.

If you have any questions about Costa Rica please feel free to ask as I know I found it difficult to get information from travel agents in the UK. At present I cant really comment on Iceland as I am yet to go - very excited for my December trip though!
