Croatian’s love their dogs. This is a new concept to me because I always thought that Europeans were more about families, but then again I haven’t been here in a long time. They have pet stores with dog dishes, bones and clothes. I guess I always think that people who spend so much time and [...]
I am finally now, on Hvar, regaining my confidence in ordering dinner. I was almost about to abandon that meal altogether, after my first 3 nights. I’m not sure if you remember, but on the first night I ate all fried food – which is great but not as a whole meal. One other thing [...]
I did see some Halloween stuff in Split in the stores – but none here in Hvar Town. It rained here today until mid afternoon so I read for about 5 hours. At least I’m reading a good book or I’d be in trouble. I’ve been fixated to the pages of Dog Soldiers by Robert [...]
We basically used Split as a launching point to the islands. We stayed overnight on Saturday night and then took a ferry to Hvar on Sunday afternoon.

My cousin Lindsey who got married last Saturday. I already had my airline tickets to Omaha for last weekend when I booked this trip. I am sorry that I was unable to make it and missed seeing all my family in Omaha. I’m sure it was fun!

But oh my god am I tired right now. So I’m not sure if this will make sense. It’s interesting, I forgot how you really have to go with the flow when traveling. Because the shit flies. My plane was delayed from Chicago to London, no big deal. It seems as though United flights are [...]
If you’d like a postcard from Croatia, please email me or post here. I unfortunately don’t have time to jot down everyone’s address.
I never thought I would create a blog but was inspired by my upcoming trip to Croatia. I leave tonight. Instead of the usual bragging emails I send from remote places – telling about my exciting days as you sit in a cubicle pounding away on your computer – I figured I would leave it [...]
