Message: [QUOTE="The deacon, post: 5086853, member: 11559"] I envy you that trip to the old Yugoslavia, Ozimoto. I was in Italy partway through an eight-week backpacking trip in the fall of '91, awaiting the ferry from Bari across the Adriatic... my heart was set on seeing the iconic city of Dubrovnik, then heading down to experience Greece. However, the civil war broke out the very day I was in Bari, and borders were shut off and ferry service was cancelled. I never got there but, seeing things from a positive standpoint, at least I wasn't trapped in Croatia as violence escalated. By the way, I'm thoroughly enjoying all of everyone's posts. My days of travel are likely over, but it's fun to vicariously share in all you folks are doing... thanks for starting this thread, Nan! [/QUOTE]
