Are there any great mixed rural/small-town/semi-urban long walks in the U.S.? I'm searching for multi-day, maybe even multi-week routes that are not strict backpacking and would not require the carrying of a tent. More inside.

3 week family vacation in Europe – kids want a mix of cities and beach. We are thinking Spain, but are totally flexible. Is it better for us to travel in July or August? Seems like many Europeans are on vacation in August.

The sum total of my international traveling experience has been to take day trips into Baja (while I lived in LA) and day trips into Windsor (when I lived near Detroit,) two days in Toronto for my brother's wedding, and, oh yes, three hours walking around Niagara Falls last week because I was so happy I found my passport. Now I want to go to Europe, by myself, before my parents (who have been
everywhere else first) beat me (they're going in September of 2011.)

My 50-something parents would like to make their first big trip abroad in July (to Western Europe). I want to help them, but my Europe travels are quite different than they want theirs to be! I'd like to identify a few routes for them that are easy and accessible, but still off the beaten path and reasonably priced.

Each year in the fall, my DH and I go to Ireland for his business meetings. These meetings last 3-4 days and then he takes 3 days of vacation and we go somewhere else in Europe.
We have gone to Paris, the west coast of Ireland, Scotland and here is my question:
When you have only 3 days, what would be the best plan of attack?

Travelling +strangers is better than travelling alone right? Well, that's a dilemma my friend (I swear, it's a friend!) is in this summer as he has time off but none of his friends do. He would like to go to Europe but be a bit social about it. Everyone mentions
Contiki but I want to know if they might have any competitors that people feel are better. Do they?

A friend of mine is off to Europe for a month this fall and as she happens to have a birthday between now and then, I figured it would be a good idea to give her presents that might be useful on such a trip. Not having done it myself, though, I'm not sure what would be most useful.
