A Trip to Iceland in the Middle of Winter - A warm review of FI E / E+ and more

Flyertalk, I am attempting to give back to the community I enjoy with a report of my recent trip to Iceland (2/15 to 2/20). A quick summary of the trip as follows:

Day 1: Icelandair economy: ORD to KEF
Day 2: Zombie mode around Reykavik + Hilton Canopy... lets avoid those tour groups.
Day 3: Secret Lagoon, drivings highway 1 to Hofn.
Day 4: Glacier Cave Tour and screwing around the ring road.
Day 5: The Golden Circle + a crappy experience at Hilton Nordica + spa day with some awkward nudity (no photos you perverts).
Day 6: Screwing around Reykavik + Iceland Air Economy + with Saga seating: ORD to KEF

This trip was planned in November when Icelandair was having a flash sale, and I score round trip tickets for $407. The following weeks I watched the sites for black friday deals, scoring a car from Sixt for $198 for 4 days, the Hilton Canopy for around 199, and the Hilton Nordica for around $120.

And to get you in the mood, here is me in an ice cave:
