Home for the Holidays
I am headed to Croatia tomorrow. I haven't been there in four and a half years, and I am really excited about this trip. I used to go home more often, but once you reach the end of your graduate student career and enter the "real world," things become incredibly more complicate and you stop doing many of the things that you used to take for granted.
A lot has happened since I had been there the last time. My brother has had two adorable little baby girls, Vida and Jana, and I can't wait to see them in person for the first time. This past year I had actually been talking on the phone with Vida, who turned two in June, and she is such a character.
I'll be in Croatia for three weeks, and I am also planning on seeing my uncle and his family in Mostar. I am really excited about my trip, but I am not happy that I'll be away from Sharmin for so long. Hopefully she'll be able to accompany me on my next trip there, which, I hope, will not take another four years to happen.
I am taking my wonderful new Canon camera with me, so stay tuned for some great photos of one of the most beautiful countries in the World.
