Sorry I’m a bit late on this one…
I’m orignally from Sweden (just outside Stockholm) and my cousin married a Cederholm. Although the legend may be true their your name is associated with crime (Sweden’s history does go back a couple years), I must say he’s as benevolent as they come. Let me cite a few examples: After he finished his stint in the military, he went back to Bosnia for months at a time on aid missions. He also became a policeman in Stockholm and dealt mainly with teenage gangs, many involved in racism and such. He helped turn several kids’ lives around. His brother takes in children from troubled homes to live with his family until they have established themselves well-enough in society to move on on their own. And their families in general are wonderful people.
So I just felt I had to rescind your objection to the name Cederholm and provide you with a new outlook. Take care and thanks for the great site.

PS – I just got back from a week-long trip to Stockholm myself (but I’ve been going there once a year for over 20 years now :)

I was in Europe for 18 months and RARELY if Ever did I come across a tobacco store that sold SKOAL much less any Smokeless Tobacco.
I would say bring a log. With all the other concerns, that shouldn’t be one.

Some of the stuff I enjoy in Stockholm:
Get a good view of town from Skinnarviksberget:
http://www.stockholmtown.com/templates/SimplePage___6196__EN.aspx
or these places:
http://www.stockholmtown.com/templates/SubPageListing___6172__EN.aspx
but Skinnarviksberget is nicer:-}
Djurgården is an island in the middle of Stockholm with forests and stuff, very nice walks. Visit Rosendals Gardens on a sunny day:

Last and MOST important, the Archipelago:

Take a Waxholmsbåt (they depart in front of Grand Hotel, opposite to the Royal Castle) to some island way out:

I’m from sweden. The weather here is really beautiful right now. Too bad you’re visting the back-side of Sweden. Stockholm is the largest city, but a trip to Gothenburg wouldn’t hurt. Friendliest city on the face ot the planet :).

Like many others I too have been wondering about your origins. First I actually thought you were living in Sweden, but a quick check in your bio page told me I was wrong.
Anyway, have a real nice visit to Sweden! A few years ago I was working as a guide at a gallery in the “Kingdom of Crystal” (http://www.glasriket.se/Valkom/V_RamE.htm). If you are in any way interested in glass and/or glassblowing, please come here! It’s one of the biggest tourist attractions in Sweden (second or third, I recall learning).
Best wishes and have a nice trip!
