Grasshopper, thank you for your comments.

We actually went to Slovenia last year when we were in Croatia. We spent two nights in Novo Mesto, a town not too far from Ljubljana. From there we explored Ljubljana and Bled and had a fantastic time. So I definitely don't mind revisiting!

As far as the car is concerned, that is definitely something that we need to look into. I know that there will probably be an issue, so I will more than likely call Auto Europe, as I used them several times in the past, and see what they have to say. Hopefully it won't be a problem because we'd really prefer to keep the car for the entire length of the trip if possible. I guess we'll have to see!

Thanks again!
Tracy
