This is about to get real…slippery
Wednesday, May 21, 2025 Stage 9 of the Juliana Trail Podbrdo to Grahovo ob Baci ~ 35,000 steps Today was a very big day. In terms of mileage, the day does not seem so big, but when you factor in the elevation gain and loss, it was very big indeed. It’s also our 21st weddingContinue reading “This is about to get real…slippery”
You Are From America!
Tuesday, May 20, 2025 Stage 8 of the Juliana Trail Bohinjska Bistrica to Podbrdo ~ 26,000 Steps Today I begin with an apology. I had a PEBKAC error with the website, and I accidentally, on purpose turned off the gizmo that sends subscribers their email.

It’s Colder than it Looks!
Monday, May 19, 2025 Stage 7 of the Juliana Trail ~26,000 steps Today was supposed to be the easy day, just hiking from Stara Fuzina to Bohinjska Bistrica.

Tonight, earplugs
Friday, May 16, 2025 We got to the Bled train station last night, and there weren’t any taxis waiting. We were also the only passengers who got off the train at 7:50 pm, so maybe that’s why. It was sprinkling on us, and we were tired, dirty and ready to be off our feet. WeContinue reading “Tonight, earplugs”
“When the Largest Airplane in the World Shakes Like that…
Thursday, May 15, 2025 Denver – Munich – Bled “…You know it’s something.” That’s what the male flight attendant said to us as we were taking off out of Denver on Wednesday night. We were on the Lufthansa A380 flying direct from Denver to Munich. Our first time on a double decker airplane and youContinue reading ““When the Largest Airplane in the World Shakes Like that…”
Are We Ready?
I honestly have no idea. I hope so. We’ve done this so many times by now we’re either old pros who can’t mess up a thing (and can roll with the punches!) or lackadaisical and making stupid mistakes. Either way, we’ve got precisely 10 days and 0 hours to figure it out and get itContinue reading “Are We Ready?”
