Hi all,
I am planning to head to Northern Norway and Northern Sweden in late Feb/early Mar 2012. I have typed out the draft itinerary below. I would appreciate it if any one has any tips or comments on it, such as activities and sights in the area. I would really love to catch the Northern Lights, and would probably take some bus tours out for this. I have tried dogsledding in Canada before so I might save the money on that activity this time. Thanks a lot in advance all!
