It looks like you've done your homework. Nothing jumps out at me as being un-doable in terms of travel times. If you check in here when you get back, we'll appoint you chair of the Helpline Trappist Beer Trip Committee. Keep on travelin'.

Chair of the Helpline Trappist Beer Trip Committee sounds like a very tempting offer. Will definately keep you posted. The trip is only in mid-June. I am just over-enthusiastic already!! Thanks!
