    Is it possible to hook some of your trips together? I would like to spend 3 weeks in Portugal and 5 weeks in Spain in September and October. I could not rent a car and cannot take luggage across train tracks. I am interested in staying as a single in superior hotels where I do not have to climb stairs. History, museums, churches, operas and significant geographic points are my interests. I do not mind being on my own.
