Just wrapping up what feels like a marathon day of travel. Honestly, it started yesterday morning in Orlando, but the real push came with the overnight flight out of JFK—a 6½-hour all-nighter to Paris. All things considered, it was a pretty smooth flight. A couple of hours spent navigating Charles de Gaulle, and then it was on to a smaller Air France feeder flight—“Hop”—into Ljubljana, Slovenia.
As we dropped below the clouds on approach, the first impression hit immediately: this place is tucked into the mountains, surrounded by natural beauty, and it just feels outdoorsy in the best way. You can tell right away it’s a place where people get outside and take advantage of the landscape.
Met up with Kurt and Rick at baggage claim, and once again, the AirTags proved their worth—nothing like that little bit of reassurance knowing your bags actually made the trip with you. From there, we grabbed a cab into town and headed to our home base for the next couple of nights, the Cubo Hotel.
After getting settled, a very helpful concierge pointed us in the right direction for a quick walking tour. The town has a great central feel to it, anchored by a castle perched just above a charming riverfront area. The Riverwalk itself is lined with trendy little sidewalk cafés, giving the whole place a relaxed but lively vibe.
We grabbed dinner at one of those cafés, which was exactly what the moment called for. But by that point, the long stretch of travel had fully caught up with me. Conversation was fading, eyelids were heavy, and it became pretty obvious—it was time to call it a night
