As for how I decided to go these places, megan.. I don’t know, mostly I’m just playing it by ear, talking to other people about where they’ve been. The Croatian Coast was a place I had to skip on my last trip to europe, which I always wanted to make it back to. But currently I dont know where I’ll be after tomorrow, which is kind of fun. I guess my guiding principle is that, as long as I’m traveling alone, I might as well go to some of the places which would be difficult to convince other people to go to with me. “hey lets go to belgrade then skopje” doesnt work on many people, i think.

One thing: consider adding an “Archives” link on the side bar, which will make it a lot easier for people to go back and read the older stuff.

In Typepad, go to the Design panel, and then click the “Content” link. Check the “Archive Links” item under “Sidebar content.”

And if you are going to be our cultural ambassador, my vote is that you lose the beard. But I’ve been wrong about beards before. I was highly dubious of Ian’s beard and it turned out to be a pretty good idea.

Thanks so much for letting us share your trip.

I accidentally clicked on your page and was surprised to see such beautiful pictures, because my brother and I are actually going to spend summer in Mljet this year. I’m really excited, as I’ve only remember Dubrovnik from my childhood.

And I guess George Bernard was right by saying that one ought to visit the Dalmatian coast to see heaven on earth. Thank you for the great post! Keep us updated!
