Oh ya, one of the most important things to know beforehand is to monitor very closely the operation of the locks!!!!!

They may, and often do, close them down for weeks or months at a time with no warning if the water levels need adjusting.

BD,
Thanks very much! A friend of mine is going to try to make the trip here in the next couple of weeks. I would like to go sometime myself, just got to find the time.
