I would also recommend a visit to Norway, but only if it is the summertime. The Fjords are beautiful and the midnight sun let's you enjoy a long day. The Oslo Bergen railway is one of the most spectacular trips that you will ever take, and was considered a modern wonder when it was built. From Bergen, you can take the 'Hurtig Rutan' or
fast window, a boat that travels up the coast. I am sure there are many choices of boats to see the fjords.
English is spoken by almost everyone, and the Norwegian people are friendly. Not too many people travel up to Northern Europe, but I lived in Sweden many years ago and have traveled throughout Scandinavia. Always enjoyed it, but it is not cheap.

Mrs SAnger3494 & I are looking to go back to Western Europe, as I can't talk her into going to OZ. We would be able to stay seven nights, say two locations. We traveled in Sept 03 to Italy and the Euro was sliding then and is much lower and going down. We have access to award business class tickets on US and DL. So we have some choices on *Allaince and SkyTeam.
We have only traveled to London (1st trip) and Venice, Florence (2nd Trip). We speak only English, I would enjoy many areas such as Sweden and Iceland. I also have access to HHonors (Scnadic) points for a three or four nights.
Thanks All
