Register your trip on-line with the U.S. Embassy in this country. Millions of Americans travel abroad every year and encounter no difficulties. However, U.S. embassies and consulates assist nearly 200,000 Americans each year who are victims of crime, accident, or illness, or whose family and friends need to contact them in an emergency. When an emergency happens, or if natural disaster, terrorism, or civil unrest strikes during your foreign travel, the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate can be your source of assistance and information. By registering your trip, you help the embassy or consulate locate you when you might need them the most. Registration is voluntary and costs nothing, but it should be a big part of your travel planning and security.

When is the best time to visit Iceland from Dallas for the Northern Lights?
The Northern Lights are visible in Iceland from mid-September through late March when nights are long and dark enough. The best conditions are clear dark skies away from light pollution — the Icelandic Meteorological Office publishes Northern Lights forecasts online. However Iceland is unpredictable weather-wise and even in prime season clouds can obscure the lights. Summer from June to August offers the midnight sun with almost 24-hour daylight — a completely different but equally magical experience. Make sure your passport is valid before booking. AA Passport & Visa offers fast renewal. Call 972-231-1600.
