Since my last posting about our adventure to Italy, we made
trip to Croatia. We went to Croatia in early May for a long weekend. We took a
cheap airline there, and everything was going smoothly… too smoothly. We made it to customs and I have never had my passport ALL of our passports examined so closely--- minutes felt like
hours. Thankfully we were allowed into the country. Then the unimaginable
happens: Caitlyn didn’t get her way. She had set down her prized possession (a
pink blanket) in the customs line, and a lady handed it to her… Caitlyn didn’t
want it handed it her, and the temper tantrum of 2012 begins…
Caitlyn is screaming, kicking, and crying. The security
guards have now focused in on us. After about 30 minutes I get Caitlyn to calm
down, and we can now get a taxi to go to our hotel. Once in the taxi and
leaving the airport, we are pulled over by the airport police, and he is asking
the taxi driver questions about us (Because the taxi driver is the perfect
person to ask details about our lives :::::sarcasm:::: ). In the end we made it
to our hotel.
The trip started out a little rough:
-We broke a glass
-Dave walked into the closed slider door (haha)
-Oh yeah and I locked us out on the balcony at 11pm while it
was raining. To get down from the balcony it was a choice of jumping into
staggered rocks 30 feet below or climbing a wall and knocking on the slider
door of my neighbor who was climbing into bed. Talk about being between a rock
and a hard place! Well, I’m still alive so I chose knocking on the neighbors
sliding glass door as she was climbing in bed--- then I found out she didn’t
speak English, but she got her husband and thank goodness he spoke some
English. I walk through their apartment to make my ¼ mile walk in the rain to
the front desk. Made it back in time to finish my beer! J
When we had breakfast the next day I think our waiter could
tell we were slightly tense. He came out with two spirits for Dave and I, on
the house! I don’t think I have drunk a spirit that early before--- but it
really turned things around! We relaxed, and made it the rest of the vacation
without any good stories to share!
