Well, plans changed a little and now we will be staying in Stockholm for three nights and then making our way by plane and train to Brussels. Germany was eliminated from this trip because a) we will be going back for Germany in the fall; b) I was told in this thread that Hamburg is nothing very special; c) less destinations means less rush, and in this case d) less money as well.

We've bought tickets to see Swan Lake in Stockholm on the 29th, which we are pretty excited about. I've never been to a ballet but I enjoyed Altman's The Company, so hopefully it will be fun.

Speaking of going out on the town: we looked into going to Rossini's opera The Barber of Seville in Paris but it was nearly $600 each. Keeps out the riff-raff I guess.
