Tomorrow, I’m going to Croatia.

I know what you’re thinking.

But this isn’t a weekend getaway, or a work trip.

This is my vacation.

My week away.

I planned it and paid for it and I’m going with one of my best friends and favorite travel partner in crime.

My travel objectives: relaxing, enjoying the sun, laughing every day, eating amazing food.

We’re spending a night in Zagreb (because, why not?) and, from there, flying down to Dubrovnik, on the southern dalmatian coast.

If you haven’t read this article in the New York Times, you must. My mom shared it with me this week and it is so true. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/18/opinion/what-your-vacation-says-about-you.html?emc=eta1&_r=0

Also, if you’re not convinced about Croatian food, I found this blog post and I’m hoping every part of it is true. http://landlopers.com/2013/07/07/croatia-food
