why Croatia?

as with Savannah, i was asked a number of times, why Croatia? i suppose it’s not the first place people think of when planning a vacation, but it has been on my mind since spring 2020.

i mentioned in February 2020 that i was going on a work trip to Dubrovnik and planned to stay an extra week or so to see the country. i had a small tour planned with Croatia Photo Tours, and was ready to go……then the world shut down.

after almost two years of smaller trips, (which i am most thankful for) i made the decision i wanted to go on a bigger trip in 2022. where to go and when, became the questions at hand. i figured, why not go to Croatia since i had a portion of a tour planned out already and it is a beautiful place to visit.

i contacted Croatia Photo Tour once again, and asked if they could put together a slightly different tour for me, one that was closer to two week. of course the answer was yes.

so here i am, in Croatia with my guide, and owner of the tour company, Igor.

i start in Dubrovnik, and will end up in Zagreb on June 8.

there will be a fair amount of stops along the way, as you know i pack in as many sights as humanly possible.

the cool thing about this trip is the photography element……although i love taking photos (and i take a lot), i’m very much an amateur. i will welcome all advice provided, and hopefully at the end of this adventure , i will be better!

of course, Igor doesn’t realize how amateur i am, or he might have given me to a different tour guide.

also, one note about future posts…….there is a lot of punctuation in Croatian words, and since i don’t have that keyboard and for the sake of ease, i’m not including any. i don’t think anyone reading this will be upset about that, but i wanted to make it known, my spelling is correct, but i am lacking accents and other symbols.
