PolkaGrl Hits the Road

May's big adventure was a trip to Croatia, which you can read about here. This was an adventure for me in so many ways:

1) I decided to go 2 weeks before I actually went. This is the kind of thing that spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment people do -- not something that slightly OCD, hyper-planners like myself do.
2) I began to wonder if being impulsive was just not for me when I discovered, a week before the trip, that my booking was cancelled by the airline! After several calls and a sleepless night, a wonderful reservation agent got it straightened out for me - whew!
3) Since I had decided so last-minute to actually go, I went on my own. I've travelled solo before, but the last time was 3 years ago, so I was a bit nervous.
4) I ate octopus salad!!!!!!

All in all it was a great trip. I saw a lot of amazing historical sights and gorgeous secnery, met some nice people along the way, ate great food, and even found time to relax and enjoy the sun.
