Loved your trip report, Offwego!

<i>there was something so relaxing about knowing you won't maybe run into your next door neighbor while you're halfway around the world</i>

Well, not quite true if your name is Shirley Devore. Check out these lyrics from one of my favorite Liza Minelli tunes:

And so she went to Dubruvnik and the very first day,
She met a guy on the beach who took her reason away
Yes it was love at first sight and quite a beautiful scene,
She said my name is Shirl Devore, he said I'm Norm Saperstein
She said are you from New York, He said that can't be denied,
I've got a swell junior three at number five Riverside
Five? five Riverside Drive in New York, that's where you live?
That's-that's where I live, Five? Are you sure?
As if that wasn't enough, for Shirley thought she'd gone deaf,
When he told her his apartment there was 29 F
Yes, she was 'E', he was 'F', and they had not even met,
Until she travelled the world to Yugoslavia yet
He'd always been right next door and she would never have known,
If she hadn't tried Dubrovnik, she might still be alone

For the rest of the lyrics:

Offwego - The pictures were just great! Was there ever even a cloud in the sky??? It sure did not look like it. The weather forecast for the next two weeks looks pretty good at this point, maybe a day of rain, but a bit cooler than I expected, low 70s mostly.

When I get back and have little time I will revisit your site to take a look at your other photos, your trips look intriguing!

offwego,

Not to hijack this Croatia thread, but seeing your pictures of Angor, especially the Bayon, made me want to go back tomorrow!

Happy Cheesehead-the weather was awesome the whole time we were there.

Mike; just got back from Cambodia last weekend and planning another trip in Feb. I'm hooked!

Thanks for the shopping tips. Did you shop for any handbags, clothes or shoes? If so do you have any good suggestions?
