Will definitely plan on writing a trip report when I return, my problem is that sometimes I go into too much detail and don't make it to the end of the trip!

I think we are sticking with the itinerary above, just pushed the departure to Sept 28th from Ljubjiana which gives us a little more time to explore the area after the "kids' leave on the 25th. Not sure if we should explore Rovinj/Pula or stay in Slovenia?

Will decide on if we want to take the morning or evening ferry/catamaran out of Dubrovnik after we get there since it seems like they do not have to be prebooked, Will still try & find a private boat to take us from Dubrovnik to Korcula late morning so we can take the later ferry/catamaran from Korcula to Hvar.
