Weekend in Dubrovnik, Croatia : Lazy few days in a quintessential Mediterranean coastal town. Intense Saturday morning downpour and nighttime thunderstorm but otherwise sunny days. Rustic old buildings, labyrinthian streets, depressing war photos, rows of small cafes, surprisingly good seafood and a guide book map that though Slovenia was Slovakia.

Week in Thailand : Part III of an Easter vacation. Bangkok: wandering around the deserted china town at night, mind-boggling propositions walking through the crowded red light district, intense humidity and grand Buddhist temples. Chiang Mai: more relaxed, genuine and authentic in atmosphere than Bangkok, wonderful night markets, Buddhist monks, happy elephants that paint pictures better than most five year olds, and Dhara Dhevi, the most opulent hotel we have ever stayed in (magnificent grounds, their own wildlife including an albino buffalo, well over ten staff per hotel guest and the best, most thoughtful service we've ever experienced).

Week In Vietnam : Part II of an Easter vacation. Extreme jaywalking in Hanoi, overloaded mopeds, rice paddy fields, serene waters in Halong Bay and morning Tai Chi on the good ship Valentine.
