Spending a couple of weeks in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Normally when I travel in the USA, I hit a local coffee shop and a food cocktail bar. Out of my element here. Im not sure if I know how to “vacation” anymore. I Love activities. Not really a lay around and read on vacation type. Anyone have any insight on what is must do/see?

Stay downtown hilton or the excelsior. Eat cevapcicis. Roam around the old town. Work from one of the coffee shops. Walk the walls. Go to mostar for a day trip. Day trip out to kotor. This is dubrovnik at its quietest in the last many years. Enjoy it.

Agree with all of the above. If you’re going to be in the area for a while, take a bunch of day trips if possible. Go for Split, Zadar, Hvar, Plitvice Lakes (all Croatia) and Mostar in Bosnia. Don’t bother trying to get to Zagreb, it’s too far and struck me as rather boring.

Oohh and plitvice in fallllll omgg. Definitely drive out. I also adore split.

Second the drive to Mostar option. Dubrovnik was so touristy when we were there in 2015 that getting out in Bosnia was so refreshing. Bosnia is also super beautiful to drive through but definitely get the GPS. Zadar was also great. They have a great center market and delicious boureks in all the bakeries. That was our favorite place in Croatia.

You can see plenty of Croatia in two weeks. Definitely spend a couple of nights on Hvar - it’s still a good buzz right now. Plitvice Lakes is stunning and well worth the drive.

Third for the roadtrip to Mostar and Kotor. DON'T stay at the Hilton; you're not in a place with as much character as Dubrovnik just to stay at the Hilton. Stay somewhere within the old city walls instead. Half day trip to Locrum (literally right there). Visit the War Photo Museum. Eat at Nautika (one of the highlight meals of my life)

🙄typo.

Hvar is incredible. Vis is worth a day or two as well. Lokrum is my favorite part of Dubrovnik. Bistro Revellin is a great dinner spot in Dubrovnik, Peppers and Taj Mahal are nice as well.

Married for 14 years with 5 kids. Since the start, my wife has had anger issues. She’s not violent, but will go on ‘anger benders’ for days where she cannot be kind to me, stonewalls, and even leaves. Sometimes this is based on a bad argument; most recently, it’s based in a story she conjured up and believes about me having an affair with my neighbor, even though it is 100% false and I’ve tried to show her that. Is this a sign of a personality disorder? Or something else? How can I support her?
