Hopefully weather is good and Solstice doesn't make things too crazy, this was the best time that I could take a week off work. My plan is maybe attempt the ring road (totally skipping Reykjavik) or if I can convince some friends to join me do a more leisurely circuit and also some mountain biking tours. If you're traveling with some people, renting a car and doing the southern half of the ring road (out to Skaftafell ) might be a good compromise; the full Ring is a lot of driving and there isn't much past there that you can't see on the lower half of the loop. I also enjoyed renting a lifted 4x4 for a day and driving out in the highlands to the hot springs in Landmannalaugar. I also enjoyed day-hiking as a novice hiker. Also, stay in hostels instead of hotels; with a few exceptions I wasn't impressed with the hotels outside of Reykjavik.

Getting mixed signals because some folks are saying you can't drive on certain F roads in a rental, even if it has 4WD. Call the rental desk where you are picking up in Iceland and ask them. My non-4x4 contract was no F roads at all; I've heard the same for some 4x4 rentals.
