>>My wife has a back condition so we can't drive very far in a day. She wanted to try camping again (we used to always go that way) and hoped the sun and the heat might help her back. Unfortunately it didn't. I had suggested I drive and she fly and we may try that next time though with her back the airport can be a bit daunting as well.

>I don't have a back condition (yet, but it is coming - have the same weakness in my frame as my father) and if I have serious traveling across europe to plan I always check for night trains as well as flights as to avoid sitting somewhere I cannot easily get up and stroll... for women the space usually is more than enough.

Good suggestion. And there are usually some great deals on the TGV in France....
