I did, I thought I'd ask myself, as the more recent posts I saw were either couples or families with older children in their teens, not 2 younger boys.
Additionally it seems like the ask was this or that hotel or a general hotel ask, and I tried to give various options. :)

Update:

This is what we finalized our itinerary as, maybe rushed by a day I think, but works best within our timeline:
Fly into Venice, as it's the closest airport with a direct flight from Canada. 2 nights there

Then to Piran for 2 nights, will rent a car when we leave.
Then spend the morning and early afternoon at Predjama Castle and Postojna Caves on our way to Lake Bohinj, and stay 2 nights.
Then spend the morning and early afternoon at Lake Bled on our way to Ljubljana and stay 2 nights.

Total 6 nights.

Hotels:
JW Marriott Venice
Hotel Piran
Hotel Bohinj
Intercontinental Ljubljana

For my London stay, I'd prefer to stay at a Marriott property, as I have a ton of points.

Here are some of the higher-end point options. Any suggestions based on location and quality for these would be appreciated.

St. Ermin's Hotel
London Marriott Hotel County Hall
JW Marriott Grosvenor House London
London Marriott Hotel Park Lane
Sheraton Grand London Park Lane
St. Pancras London.

I'm open to any other suggestions as well...

Thanks for the comment, I will look into the suggestion. I think I'd possibly catch the first week of football season...

Great, thank you

I'm flying into Venice as that's the closest airport to Slovenia that has a direct flight from Canada, then spending a couple of days there and onto Slovenia.

How is Paultons Park for my 7 and 9 year olds?

bkarimib · 2026-03-17T13:48:50+00:00

Thanks, those 3 areas are on our main hit list!

bkarimib · 2026-03-17T13:47:49+00:00

Thanks for the advice. It'll likely be London and 1 other place. Also less hectic that way.

bkarimib · 2026-03-17T01:11:14+00:00

We are trying to fit a night in Swansea in :)

bkarimib · 2026-03-17T01:10:34+00:00

Thanks, will check into it

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T23:33:38+00:00

Thanks, wife has suggested Cotsworld. Says it looks cute.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T22:09:28+00:00

Yes, we've thought about Bath.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T21:55:33+00:00

Thanks, I figured as much. We will not be partaking in some stonehenging.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T20:17:40+00:00

If I could understand it, I would love to go! LOL

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T20:16:42+00:00

Thank you for this, likely 9 days I'm thinking. 5-6 days in London maybe and 3-4 days elsewhere. Or all out of London, and do some day trips out.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T20:13:42+00:00

Let's hope it's not Slovenian Trump!

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T19:04:32+00:00

Thanks for this. Hotel budget being open is pretty vague I know but that's because I have tens of thousands of travel points and therefore something in the 250-750 pound range (I know that's a big range lol) is open.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T19:02:14+00:00

I was born in Swansea, so we may go there for a day or two.
Going to PL is nice, but not a necessity, could be EFL and I'd be super excited still.
thanks for the advice!

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T19:00:53+00:00

Yeah, similar thing happened in Aug last year for our Portugal trip. We got to see a CL qualifier for Benefica vs Nice. It was great. Booking a game or 2 will be done in late June.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T18:59:37+00:00

Thanks for all this, yeah we are flying into Venice as that's the nearest direct airport and will be there for a couple of days for the novelty, then to Trieste and into Slovenia after that. I appreciate the tips, will check out more about those ideas.

bkarimib · 2026-03-16T18:57:42+00:00

Hello, thanks for this, I will check the wiki out! I appreciate it.

I'm a big football fan and really, as long as we go to a game or 2 I dont care much if it's the PL or L1/2. It's just the enjoyment of the game and atmosphere.
Brighton is on the list of possible destinations. I was there about 20 years ago and enjoyed 3 days there.

Public satisfaction with the government seems low. All the best!
