Ok, so I didn't have a lot of wifi on the trip, so I have to update this whole thing now that I'm home. The first day in port was in Koper, Slovenia. We went on a great private tour through four seasons travel, www.bledholidays.com, the tour guide's name is Graeme Chuter. He is a great tour guide. He's English, so there were no issues with an accent, well except for the differences between the two countries. He took us to the country's capital, Ljubljana, it's a quaint and pretty city. I could have wandered around for hours. It's very clean and seems very safe. the whole country has only been independent for 20 years. they used to be part of Yugoslavia until "91 when they won their independence. so the same year they got their independence, Bubba lost his by marrying me (LOL.)

Ok, so here we are on vacation again. We have been traveling for the past 22 and 1/2 hours, and I'm very sleepy, and maybe a little punchy too. We flew through Atlanta to Milan, then took a bus (5 euros each) to the train station and took the train (17 euros each) from there for another 3 hours. We are now in Venice, or at least the outskirts of it. We're at the accor all season, and it is very clean and modern. They give us an industry rate, so the price was under 100 euros for the night. They also have a shuttle bus to the cruise terminal for 40 euros up to 8 people, not a bad deal. I can't wait to explore at least a little bit of the city before the sun goes down or I turn into a pumpkin. I'm going to try to get some pictures into this thing a little later, so we'll see how that works..... Ok, nap time....
