In agreement with the Anon who suggested travel insurance. If you're going self catered, buy food at a store called Kronan. It's the cheapest and unlike many of the supermarkets, they seem to be having little trouble importing stuff. Also, be prepared for expensive gas prices. Cab fares are also rather expensive (much like most things in Iceland).
Try taking the Golden Circle tour if you have the spare cash to throw around and aren't going there with friends or visiting friends who live there who might have a car. The Blue Lagoon hot spring is fun for a while, but a little overrated.
That said and done with though, the night life is great and the atmosphere in most bars in downtown Reykjavik is friendly and lively. There's alot of great natural landscape to take in at places like þingvellir, Gullfoss and the glaciers dotted about the island.
Oh, and hopefully you'll catch the norther lights, they've been out since it started to get cold!
