I've been following topics on this forum related to our itinerary, and have a good degree of confidence in the plans we have made given our constraints. We are a family with 2 daughters age 17 and 20 who are relatively experienced travelers. We are comfortable being on the move in order to experience different sights and locations. That being said, if there are any last minute gems of advice I would love to hear them.
