I don't think you'll get to many replies. Where your going is well documented. Hit the search. The information is all there. Get a travel book. IMO Rick Steves is the least confusing and He has some very good information for where your traveling.

Thank you for your responses. Yes, I agree this is a well documented route, and we always go with guide books. But, drawing from our experience in travel, there are always places and things to see that can only be found by recommendations from other travelers who "happened upon" an otherwise overlooked "gem".<BR>
