more thoughts on France cycling wine tour

Suggested dates:
Monday, 27 Sept. - Sunday 4 Oct. (you can leave early, as last three days will be based around Avignon)

My personal opinion is that it will be cheaper and less of a pain in the ass to just stay in hotels during the trip, instead of trying to rent camping equipment and camping spaces (also, many camp grounds close in mid-September, apparently).

If Karen and Drew come with baby Clara, then they will rent a car which we can all use to haul our gear/purchased wine. Depending on how things go, folks could swap out with Karen and Drew on different days to let them cycle, too.

Some thoughts on cost per person (for those traveling from Aarhus, flights will be different for folks coming from elsewhere, obviously)...

Return flight from Billund, Denmark to Marseille, France = kr 1800
return train Marseille - Avignon = kr 250
week bike rental = kr 750
share of car expenses = kr 500
week of hotels (assume 50 euro/night/person) = kr 2250
wine tasting fees (assume 20 euro/day/person)* = kr 900
food (assume 25 euro/day/person) = kr 1300
TOTAL = kr 7750
* usually tasting fees are waived if you buy a bottle, but that would be even more money :)
