After the pandemic of the past two-plus years, our ability to travel has been significantly curtailed, especially internationally. Things have finally opened enough that we're on our way to Croatia for two weeks and I'm not sure we could be more excited. We're vaccinated and double-boosted so we feel we're as safe as we can be in addition to taking all of the normal precautions. There are no testing or quarantine requirements where we're headed and the US just eliminated the requirement for reentry into the country which eliminates the hassle of doing testing before coming home.
When we say Croatia in response to the question as to where we're going, we're either met with "that's so awesome, I'm jealous" or "why Croatia?" We've been to both Italy and Greece and Croatia is sort of right between the two along the Adriatic Sea with a mediterranean climate. People we know who have been talk about how awesome it is and the pictures we've seen have been incredible. We'll be on the coast a lot, so I know we'll hit multiple beaches, but we will also do several of their national parks. Plitvice Lakes National Park, the oldest in Croatia, is a series of 16 lakes connected by waterfalls. I hope my photos will do it justice.
One of the most recent claims to fame for Croatia is that much of Game of Thrones was filmed there. Have to admit we've not seen a single episode, so no Game of Thrones tour for us. That's ok, as I think given the choice, Mona would rather maximize her beach time.
