Planning a vacation for 6 people is never easy, especially when there are different age groups involved. There is the hassle of buying the tickets that allow for everyone to be seated together; while simultaneously translating languages and currency; the task of choosing the activities (keeping in mind that 1 or 2 people of the group may not be as interested as the others) and ensuring that there will be “chill” days in the mix; and then there is the goal of pleasing each person, while abroad.

With all of these to manage, I would have had reason to be overwhelmed or slightly stressed out….But, no! We were going to two top destinations in the world: Italy and Croatia. Who could complain for even one second knowing that they would witness wonders of the world, cultures of substance and beauty, and, of course, food with the ability to make one’s stomach a bottomless pit?
