Once a year the the wife and I always go on a 5 day trip without the kids and Iceland is on our radar this year.

I think 5 days gets you a great oversight. We were only there 2 1/2 days. Went to the Blue Lagoon and area the first 1/2 day, and the next day did the Golden Circle route, which puts you on some of the highlights, including a geyser field that erupts every 3-4 minutes and great scenery.
I'd want to do the northwest of the island, and go to the large national park in the middle, but we were a bit to early in the year for that.
Some more pictures.
Lava field covered with moss. I doubt one could make more than 5 miles a day through this stuff.

Iceland is a volcanic island. Lava flows...
