Exactly so my friend—great advice and I am trying to live it at this point. A shame it took several days to get here, but that’s a lesson. Cheers @louisbosco and enjoy Spa tomorrow!

@mclaincausey I get the (extreme) frustration over a whole load of stuff that should never have happened (and I'm happy you have somewhere you can vent). But … you're in a beautiful place with people you love, so try and enjoy what you've got! Everything else is secondary (and hopefully can be fixed when you're back home).

That’s the plan and it’s going swimmingly! Was supposed to storm today but another great beach and pool day with a special surprise guest.
One down, one to go on day 7
Last night, I tossed my wallet onto the table at dinner for my wife to pay for the meal while I chased a quickly melting down daughter. My wife never saw the wallet. So we make it all the way up the hill back to the resort and figure out what happened. My wife sprinted back to the restaurant after I called and they said no one saw it. My wife, God bless me, was relentless and found it in the laundry bin. Big hug from our wonderful waiter (Mediterraneo in Hvar City. Great meal and service).
Last bag lands in Split in an hour. A couple of ferry opportunities for us to get the last bag today.

@mclaincausey at least your pilots didn't get into a fight (I hope):
Hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday!

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.

@mclaincausey See you logged on…how is/was the rest of the trip?
-
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.

@mclaincausey …sans child leads to more child...

Oh fuck, that is freaky, I have exactly the same swimmers…...
I thought it was a skirt for a second!

Yep!
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.

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.
