Same routine as last year. We drive to Naples Fla. in mid Feb to mid April. Starting to finally get cold here so I am looking forward to getting out and I hope we don't have any nasty weather before we leave.

I'm always looking for a trip to combine a run for the +1 with an area I'd like to visit. So I found an 8-mile run on Mackinac Island, MI for Sept 10 weekend. Stay at the famous Grand Hotel, of course. To be determined whether we will do it or not. 
Morris, I've not been to either one, but I think I would choose Croatia. I'd look at the State Dept travel page for each country for info before deciding - travel.state.gov.
