The article recounts a family win of an all-expenses-paid trip to Iceland, initially won by the author's mother in 2019. After delays due to various life events and the COVID-19 pandemic, the trip was finally set to take place in 2025. With the help of a travel agent, the author shares insights about their six-day itinerary in Reykjavik, detailing the advantages of allowing experts to curate experiences in a destination known for its overwhelming number of options.
The biggest perk of having a travel agent? They did all the filtering for us. If you Google 'Iceland Northern Lights Tour,' you'll get hundreds of results.

My dad swears he looked away for just a second, and suddenly, they were announcing my mom's name as the winner of an Iceland Adventure trip.

Turns out, because of COVID-19, our five-year redemption window had stretched to six—and 2025 would be our last chance to go.
