Thanks all for advice so far. Since I made the original post three days ago, the trip is coming a little bit more clearer. * Alliance award seats opened up so we grabbed them from IAD - ARN and then from CPH - IAD (leaving in a few weeks, so beggers can't be choosers). We will have about 15 full days, not counting the travel days. Will probably spend 3-4 days in Stockholm area (including a day side trip), maybe rent a car and head towards Gothenburg and then up to Oslo, spending a day in Gothenburg (I know this is out of the way - may skip this and head to Oslo, maybe even by train). Spend two days in Oslo and then head to Bergen and fjord country, spending maybe 2-3 days up there. Probably fly from Bergen (or boat as suggested above from OSL) to CPH and spend 4 days there, including side trips from CPH. Might even throw in a 2 day trip up north if we can fit it in. With all that said, I am sure this will change by tomorrow or the next day as I continue to do research and plan this out. I agree with all of you that OSL sounds like the least exciting city of the three, also would like to not rush through Bergen and surrounding area. Will let you know how this turns out!
