The Final Disaster

Well, the day to leave Croatia was finally here! After just over a week, some bumps along the way, it was an early start. My flight left first, at 6:15am. Everything I’ve ever experienced has taught me to always arrive at the airport 2 hours early. That meant 4:15. That meant ~3:45 ride to the…

The Last Day

Another early morning was ahead of us. We packed up our backpacks, and made the usual trek to the bus station. We had to get on the 4 hour bus back to Dubrovnik. We figured, the earlier, the better. So away we went. And the bus was pretty full! On the way we stopped and…

Krka-ck On!

And we’re back at it!   After the hot day in Hvar, it was a long night to sleep. Both Celesta and myself had a hard time sleeping – I was constantly tossing with my sunburn on my back and shoulders, and my feet elevated because they were swollen. Celesta actually went and slept on…

50 euros later..

Summer 2018 was a time of travel! And what a fun time. Many years ago I lived somewhat briefly in Greece as part of an international student plan. There were other students who were on the same program, staying with other host families, who I was able to travel with and spend time with. One…
