Thanks for all the input everyone. Our itinerary is starting to take definite shape (somewhat hindered by our tour group dragging its feet on getting us their part of the plans).
While I've got your attention, I'm also looking for somewhat more important advice: alcohol. I need some suggestions for just what I should be drinking at each of my stops.
I like good, not outrageously priced drinks. I don't mind paying for a good quality drink but I also work on a student's budget:). I drink a little bit of everything depending on the time and place. When I drink beer I tend to drink Rickard's Red, Sleeman Clear or Alexander Keith's. I really enjoy a nice Bordeaux Merlot, particularly with dinner. When I go to the bars I tend to order Jack and Coke, and when my parents are supplying the booze there's not much better than a nice Hennessy after we eat.
So, any suggestions for what I should imbibe on my journey would be most welcome. I'd prefer to try local beverages as I travel, trying new labels that I wouldn't otherwise have access to.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
