@cybette, this is turning into a very spur-of-the-moment trip :o) so many different ways we could do things. Do we have any idea where we want to end up with the car? At least that would give us an idea of when we need to get there so we can get the train to Stockholm... unless we're planning to drive all the way to Stockholm
for the road trip, suppose we begin from Rovaniemi, to the Nordkapp (Norway) then go down to Umeå, Sweden (the biggest city in the northern Sweden). In Umeå, there is ferry to Vassa, Finland and train to Stockholm. According to google map, the total driving distance is like:
Rovaniemi, Finland (709 km – about 10 hours 7 mins)-> Nordkapp, Norway (1,097 km – about 15 hours 34 mins)-> Umeå, Sweden (639 km – about 7 hours 35 mins) -> Stockholm, Sweden
I don't think I can goto Stockholm (sounds so stupid) because I will have another summer cottage trip on July 4th so I have to be in Tampere on July 3rd, my plan is to take a ferry from Umeå to Vassa when you are on the train to Stockholm..^^. The Ruisrock in Turku begins on July 4th, you can take an overnight ferry on July 3rd and arrive at Turku in the morning.
Hmm, I know it is not a plan yet, just to throw out possible ideas.

I'm still stuck at work whicch means I won't get around to real work until later which means I can't make it. So sorry, would've been fun.
