Tuor in Gondolin has been trapped in the Barrow!

1. Gondolin (very tight security measures, be sure to go during the First Age,
flight by Giant Eagle recommended), possibility of major conflicts-please
check ahead.
2. Umbar (a lovely spot by the sea, beautiful seaside, luxurious accomodation, exotic markets, and one of the Wonders of the World - the architectonic monument to Ar-Pharazon's victory over Mordor)
3. Rivendell (Elrond's house is perfect, whether you like food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.)
4. The Glittering Caves of Aglarond (whether you enjoy marveling at one of the wonders of Middle-earth and spelunking it's recesses, traveling to the fabulous Tower of Orthanc and speculating on its legendary construction, rafting down the Adorn and Angren Rivers to explore Andrast-perhaps you'll glimpse a sight of rumored Pukel-men, relaxing atyour simple yet comfortable hostel near Helm's Deep while viewing the reconstructed Battle of Helm's Deep battlefield, or [for the more adventurous] traveling to the Forest of Dimholt to take one...two...three? steps into The Paths of the Dead---if you dare! Yes, Aglarond has it all).
5. Lothlórien (warning: visitors may not want to ever come back from their holiday. Also, please pay attention to the following announcement from the customs office regarding imported goods*: "The only evil found in Lothlórien is the one you bring with you!")
*or actually, evils...
6. The Shire (for those who like to eat, relax and alo for those who need a little quiet time. Good for those with small children.)
7. Erebor&Dale (the wonders of craftsmanship and architecture, combined with excursion to the legendary places such as the remains of the hidden back door, and the tomb of Thorin Oakenshield, plus you can buy incredible masterwork if not magical items at local markets)

8. Princess Arwen Line--- Embark at the Grey Havens after stopping by Tower Hills for roadside stanbds featuring Farmer Maggot's Gourmet Mushrooms. Shore leave at Andrast to visit ruins of Pukel-Men. Sail up the Great River to the Falls of Rauros. On the way back stop at Minas Tirith for scheduled tour attendance at King Elassar's weekly audience. If signed up for southern tour leg sail past Far Harad for nighttime sky watching (where the stars are different).
