Its a quite nice destination, although expensive (especially for 
alcohol).  We're thinking of trying to go again to go way north (Tromso) 
before this current Solar Maximum cycle ends, for superior viewing of 
the Northern Lights; question is commitments & schedule to fit it in.

Perhaps a book for the Naval buff is "Castles of Steel", which is a tome 
that covers all of the WW-I engagements.  Some of my family members just 
left the USA last night to take a grandchild to see Utah Beach & some 
other sights where his great-grandfather had a walking tour of France. 
Was initially planning on going with them, but had a ton of other 
commitments arise which resulted in now being very bad timing.

In the meantime, for the OT jealous types, I'll just leave this here:
