      Thanks mate!

      We are now reunited with both bags in Split, looking back and laughing at how well we WOULD have been prepared had they made it. Probably gonna have to gift some diapers 😃

      Getting to the catamaran and then the lodging with all of the various and sundry bags accrued to support a family of 3 since two Carey ons don’t do it was a slog. It hasn’t rained here in Split in weeks but we had to run with all our gear to only mildly get sprayed.

      We have all these damn bags we accrued while only having our carry-ons, so some consolidation to occur on the other side of some well-deserved rest. We love Split so far and look forward to exploring, then Cavtat, then home.

      Think it, be it.

        I friggin hate our new UPS driver. Supposedly only a subcontrator nowadays, and online tracking shows two failed delivery attempts over the last two days while someone was home. Let's see if we'll get our parcel tomorrow. The wife is waiting anxiously for her new purple UHF…

            It was amazing! Pics to come elsewhere but we made it back. Our challenges never ended, but the trip was truly amazing and we will be back. Probably sans child next time  😃

            Here’s a pic for our own @hajduk from the end of the block our apartment was on in Split. We absolutely loved Split, Cavtat, and Hvar Town and enjoyed Dubrovnik a great deal but were somewhat hampered in our exploration by the topic of my rant and other factors. I think next time we want to do Dalmatia we will use Split as the base of operations to explore the region and islands near there. We wound up renting a car one way from Split back to Cavtat, then the airport, as the ferry would have been longer and we’d already spent a lot of time on ferries. Worked out perfectly, got to see more of the beautiful country and stop for a great meal along the way.

            Think it, be it.

                          They were among what I had to buy for those first 7 days without luggage. I had no idea they were a bougie brand out of San Tropez until I saw the receipt for the shorts and dress we got at the boutique in Old Town Dubrovnik. Oh well, at least the entirety of my remaining improvised wardrobe was less than half that tally.

                          They’re great. Much more vibrant and less skirt like in the flesh, dry quickly, and come with a rip stop waterproof bag to store them in after use.

                          Think it, be it.

                              I’ve looked at them and they look amazing, the skirt ref was my attempt at a wisecrack since your passenger’s leg covered the inseam. They look good and I would buy a pair when my Patagucci pair dies.

                                        The crew are pretty good at measuring, it's one of the things they do every day and is a key component of their job. So it always irks us, when a customer accuses us of mismeasuring (usually because they've screwed up themselves or they said they measured as we do, then it turns out they didn't).  Or it could be because of this, I grabbed the image from the web, but measuring tapes are often inaccurate and cheap plastic one's stretch with use…
