Hello! There is a very good chance (my fingers are crossed) that I will be traveling to Iceland in August of 2007. Here's the funny thing - it is cheaper for me to fly to Oslo and have a "stopover" of seven days in Iceland on my way back than it is for me to fly direct to Iceland and back! (I will never understand the airline industry. )

So - I am hoping that some of you could offer some advice... I will have about a week in Norway! I have never been to Scandanavia before, and have this extraordinary opportunity to go! I was planning on spending a couple of days in Oslo, then to move along. If you were me, would you go West toward Bergen, or North toward Trondheim?

If this helps, I will be traveling on my own (DH doesn't fly!)... and on a budget (no 4-star hotels for me)!

Thanks for any help you can offer! I'm terribly excited!
