A few email messages encourage me.One friend spent three weeks last summer traveling Norway and booked all her tickets and lodging by using her computer. "No need to do any work with a travel agent," she wrote and offered hints about looking for bed-and-breakfast type accommodations which are much more affordable than hotels.
My host parents offered to host our group on our journey's last leg – after visiting relatives north of Trondheim and before we depart from the Oslo airport. Should we decide to take the train from Trondheim south, my host dad offered four options for pickup:
1. In Lillehammer: the site of the 1994 Olympic games
2. In Hamar
3. In Lillestrøm
4. In Oslo.
A third email came today from relatives living in the Grandma Lena's childhood house in Verdal. The husband of Lena's great-niece answered an email I'd sent asking for local agents with rental mini-vans. He kindly provided websites, email addresses and telephone numbers for three.
Now it's my turn to research and e-mail on!
