If life went according to plan


 I would have arrived in Croatia (a week ago, to be exact)
  instead I'm living in Iowa
waiting for hubby to reunite with Beli and I.

We won't be returning to Croatia (as of now)
We have reached a crossroad
and a decision must be made
what is in the best interest for our family?
The three of us?
Hubby and I have our families oceans apart
Recession is now a personal enemy
We knew the time would come
when we
would be faced with this decision
it's not easy.
but then again, change is never easy.
I will keep you posted.
There was no easy way to write this, I had many different scenarios played in my mind
of how I would explain that we wouldn't be returning to Croatia. I told all my friends in Croatia goodbye before I departed, it was bitter-sweet. I told my parents on Christmas Day, it was their present!

(P.S. I'm blessed that our family is healthy,
.. now if only we could find work)

Thinking about traveling again

Remember the travel memoir I wrote back in 2010?
....."My love for traveling began my first year in pharmacy school when my two closest friends and I traveled to Spain in 2002. I thought to myself, "I will never stop traveling." Must be something about the adrenaline rush, new food, new faces?"

Well, I thought I do a recap of our travels this past year. Feel free to join and share your travel adventures.
