Roanne, Good luck on your trip and I hope the weather is nice. I hope you have as wonderful a time as I did on Cherso/Cres. So good in fact, we are going back in 2003. Don't forget to go to the cemeteries to look for records. We took our digital camera and the pictures came out super--especially since the gravestones have pictures of the deceased on them. I also kept a diary. Elaine
