Caption: The Trip I’m fortunate that I’ve traveled in many different ways - by myself, with friends, and with significant others. This trip stands out because I was a last minute edition. What was supposed to be a girls trip turned into a couples trip. And not only that, this ten day trip would be the first time I really met this couple.
It was either we get along and have fun or the next ten days would be really awkward.
Luckily our travel tastes lined up - good food, good drinks, and a whole lot of wandering around.

Caption: Entering old town Dubrovnik meant crossing a bridge and walking under the walls that guard the ancient town. You leave a bustling city and transfer over to a place that feels mystic.
The old town is a labyrinth of alley ways and walk ways that turn into a maze. There’s always a new area to explore, new shops to visit and places to eat. Every turn is breathtaking. Also, no cars.

Caption: My favorite time of day was when the day tourists left, the cruise ships pulled out of the harbor and you were left with silence. It helped to travel during the shoulder season to avoid the huge crowds.

Caption: THE FOOD While we had some amazing seafood on this trip, my favorite dining experience was Lady Pi-Pi.
This popular spot doesn’t take reservations, so you wait. And wait. And smell the amazing food being prepared on an open grill. And wait some more.
FINALLY it was our turn, but Lady Pi-Pi has a catch. Since there’s no roof, if it rains your meal is cancelled but you still have to pay. At 8:30 we were seated, just as the first rain drops started to fall. Luck was on our side however and we made it through the meal. Three courses of Croatian sausages, steaks and fish. You know what they say - high risk, high reward.

Caption: Despite the potential for crowds I think I will always recommend going to Dubrovnik (just go during the shoulder seasons). It’s amazing and like nothing I’ve ever seen. It truly makes you feel like you’re in a different world.
