We have some ideas of places and resource people that can help us build a great trip. We are thinking that it would be best to travel to Norway in early June 2016, and that the tour would be about 14 days long.

There are some significant tourist experiences in those areas that can enrich our travel as well. We are in the beginning stages of planning for this tour, thus it would be valuable for us to learn of your interest and your ideas of what would make an excellent tour.
