oh my my! they are back and better than ever.

It is with great delight & joy that I announce that Conor and I are traveling internationally again in September, and will revive this old blog leading up to and during our ten days abroad. With travelers' itch after having been in the States a whole year (*eeeek*), we decided it was time to take a trip. We considered San Francisco, which quickly grew to Paris, which eventually grew to Croatia. Why not?!

We are flying from JFK through Paris to Zagreb, Croatia on September 18th & will return September 28th. We plan on staying in Zagreb the first two days, then to Split for a couple days and back to Zagreb, possibly doing another trip to either Hungary or Austria. The Kuna is friendly to our wallets, and the beaches will still be accessible without the prices being as high as they can be in early summer. Our preparation for the next few weeks includes: of course, my freakish itineraries (plural), learning basic phrases and numbers in Croatian (this doesn't look easy, I'm tellin' ya), reading guidebooks, booking hostels, and cutting back on eating out here so we can eat out there! Apparently Italian is spoken on the coast, so maybe we'll luck out there. Definitely looking forward to another adventure abroad! Could we be...addicted?!
