The world has truly become a smaller place.
Or is that simply attributable to the obesity epidemic?

Yeah but the big thing in Munich and other German cities are those beer halls and what do you get there, some kind of fried up sausage to eat with beer?
We stayed at the Delta Marriott for $270 US. Yes, it was pricey and the room was small. We knew Banff would be pretty crowded and touristy (it was that way back in 1980) so we stayed just 4 nights. Still we enjoyed the town and the holiday atmosphere. In that kind of town it's best to get up early and try to beat the crowds.Where did you stay in Banff?
The prices were crazy, places that looked basically like motels in town going for like $1500 or more for just 4 nights.
The only part of Asia we've been to is NZ and AU so this will be great.
.....the people were nice and it was beautiful.
Nemo, We really likes Trieste. Really found some great restaurants, the people were nice and it was beautiful. I think the 2-3 days max is all you need, then you sort of run out of things to do. Although, you could people watch for days and never get tired of it. I, However, I tend to drink a lot when I people watch, so I'd just be slightly drunk the whole time
Can you stay in Trieste and take day trips into Slovenia or would you have to drive far to reach interesting destinations?
We took a Western Canada trip last year and loved it. On of the highlights was kayaking on the lake in Jasper to get some good pictures away from the trees.We just got back from a 2 week trip to the Canadian Rockies. Visited Banff, Jasper, and Waterton Lakes. Lots of nice hikes.
In Jasper we had a small cabin right near the Athabasca River. We ate out in town but had breakfast in the cabin and trail mix for the hikes. Here is a pic of Maligne Lake in Jasper park. We sat here on our little travel stools (3 legged, very light) and did watercolor paintings. Painting and drawing are good ways to cool one's heels for awhile. Forces you to really notice things.
And a pic of a glacier as seen along the Iceland Parkway between Banff and Jasper parks:

Cruising Japan / Korea in October .... seemed like good timing months ago
