Bobb -
With all your requirements/requests/apprehensions....have you thought of
engaging the services of an honest to goodness travel agent? At the very
least visit your neighborhood AAA office?
I ask this because it is becoming increasingly apparent that you seem not to
be satisfied with the quality of information you are gleaning from this
newsgroup. Of course, I could be wrong - you could well be 100% satisfied.
And yet...you have these second thoughts, such as those expressed in your
most recent post - which post puts anyone responding in the role of a
forecaster/prognostic/foreseer of one type or another....
