Yes! Please post the entire itinerary. Would love to hear about activities loved (and tolerated) by children of various ages.
@Elisa – coming tomorrow! Some stuff was more liked than others of course, but so it is with family travel…
I am excited to see your Norway itinerary. We can fly there very cheaply, so it is on my list. We went to Sweden last winter and my very selective eater loved the pickled herring, so who knows with these things.
@Jessica- my selective eater did not even try herring, but one of my other kids did, as did I. Not my favorite, but hey. I did do liverpostai…
Wow Norway! I am a little jealous. We could get there relatively easy but everything there is prohibitively expensive…
@Maggie – the fun thing about traveling internationally with a foreign currency is that none of the prices feel real (well, until the bills come, at least…)
