Glad to be of help. Actually, it was thanks to @kyotoursjapan that I was able to get up the back steps.

I would love any help I can get!

Please post any pictures and comments you have in a new topic for each place!

Hello,

Thank you so much for the great tips!

I like the one about it being OK to ask for help – so true!
