Dennys made this very cool video from our trip. He brought his whole video rig along and did some great work. I really like how he cut in the driving segments and gave this a real &ldquo;road trip&rdquo; feel (we did drive 1,200 miles after all!). This will be a wonderful way to remember the trip. A recap blog post on the trip is in the works for this weekend.</p>\n<p class=\"alert\">Add Iceland video from Dennys.</p>\n",
