With views overlooking Dubrovnik's Old City and the Elaphite Islands, it was hard to pass up the opportunity to dine @panoramarestaurantsrd . It is one of my favorite dining experiences in Croatia. Tip: You can also use uber to get to the top.

When it comes to food and drink, my photography becomes a little suspect😂.

So we toured the Peljesac Peninsula in search of great wine and the famous Mali Ston Oysters! And boy, did we find them!

Interesting fact the Zinfandel grape has Croatian orgins! Because of this, a wine tour was added to the itinerary. I have enjoyed the wines immensely in Croatia, and do I dare say it, I think I like white wine. Croatia whites are so yummy. #Croatia #croatianwines #zinfandel #winetasting #malistoneoysters #freshoysters #travelcroatia #europeantravel #traveleurope #thebalkans #vino #wine #wineregions #dalmatiacoast

The hardest thing I will do today is adventure planning (vacation) for 2024. Only one vacation has been planned thus far....

The map shows where I have been, but I am interested in where to go for 2024? The map has a lot of places yet to explore! Maybe Asia and South America should be put in the rotation? What do you think?

Open for suggestions on where to go next and let me know it's the place to explore. #2024travels #goingonadventures #wheretonext #exploremore #worldtraveler #canIgetawindowseat #travelerandgastronome

#FBF Oh, I enjoyed watching him for more reasons than one, lol! Anyhoo, flashing back to a time when I was spending 20 to 23 usd for cocktails in #Zurich.

Some say #Switzerland is expensive, trust me, I have paid $17 dollars for cocktails in Asheville, Nc, so 20 bucks for a tasty drink in a far-off land is alright with me... I found some things to be on the costly side and not so much for others.

How did I cut cost? I stayed a 12 min tram ride from the city center, and hotel rooms were averaging about $135. I felt safe in Switzerland as a solo traveler, so the 12 min tram ride was no biggie. The hotel I stayed in rate/status included a full buffet breakfast with mimosas and an omelet station. So I only had to eat out twice a day, which was a big savings. Museums and tourist attractions were pricey, in my opinion. I saved by buying the Zurich City 72 hr Pass , which included free transportation (trams, boats etc), free entry into some museums, discounts on others, along with discounts on many attractions and tours etc. Also, I traveled during the off-season, which allowed me to snag a one-way ticket from ZRH to ORD on #unitedairlines for 23k miles. #milesandpointstraveler #solotravel
