I did not, sadly. I opted for this little excursion into Montenegro. I wish I had more time there.Agreed. Amazing. Did you hit the islands off the west coast?

Possibly the trip of a lifetime. Brac, Hvar and Korcula are insane. Dubrovnik was cool but not as cool as those islands.I did not, sadly. I opted for this little excursion into Montenegro. I wish I had more time there.
Hvar Island:

Sounds more expensive tho
I think you'd be surprised, especially if you're flexible on dates. America is an expensive country!

Dang ER - that sounds amazing. Did you ever do any of the same hopping in Greece?

We flew into Frankfurt, then on to Split, Croatia. Then took a boat to Brac. This was a Backroads cycling trip. The boat we were on was a double-decker jobbie that was built in 1907. Bar, tables and bathrooms on the first deck and then loungers on the second deck. We biked across Brac and then stayed in Pucisca and stayed the night. Then biked down to Bol and caught the boat again and went to Hvar. Biked across Hvar, stayed the night, etc. then onto Korcula. After Dubrovnik we flew to Athens which is hell compared to Croatia. Then on to Santorini for three days, then back to Athens, Frankfurt (one night) and then home. Awesome. Croatia is amazing as you know. The people were great, the views were outstanding, the food was awesome and there is so much history.
Doob: We went to Croatia in September and the weather could not have been better. But I think it's cool/cold there in January.

Hmm I do have family in Clearwater
Some other friends highly recommended Holbox which is a small island off Cancun kinda, a little north I think.
We were just in Holbox a few weeks ago. Very small, off the beaten path, lots of Mexican tourists.

Western Cuba is beautiful in January. Really nice resorts that range from $150-$250 a night. We have friends that have been going. There is a travel advisory, but it is bullshit politically motivated. Western Cuba is a rather safe playground. Would'nt go anywhere near Havana.
My wife and I were rubbing our chins about a possible Cuba trip. We did some homework and although you do have to jump through some rings of fire, it's apparently very manageable. I did see some really nice beach areas in the west and southwest that looked like they had some nice resorts.

The US is late to the western Cuba party. They are very well versed in Canadian there. Them hosers love that area.
Right. Americans think that Cuba is crumbling and void of all modern technology but guess what... everyone is already there except for us.

More chins than a Chinese human rights advocacy department!
