[quote]possible quick stop in Sibenik evening/dinner if there is time.[/quote]
Sibenik was my favorite stop in Croatia. Nowhere near the hustle and bustle of Split. If you like architecture, history, and the water, then this place is for you!
My top recommendations are:

Drove from Austin to Southern Utah to visit Natural Bridges National Monument, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands National Parks. The Southern Utah desert is gorgeous and very isolated. Aside from the National Parks and Moab, there is nothing but government land and barely any people. You can go...

Yes, Christchurch was pretty depressing, especially as it was cloudy during my stay there, which somehow made the city more depressing as it blended with the ruble. When I was at the City...

Franz Josef Glacier Heli Hike, New Zealand (Pics)
Posted by HumongousYeti on 3/5/15 at 10:24 am
This was a 4 hour hike I did by helicopter in the South Island.
*I meant to add this to the Mt. Ben Lomond Pics thread, but somehow it wouldn't bump.
Enjoy!

[quote]Was this a day-hike? [/quote]
Yup. I started at around 8am at the very bottom of the mountain in the suburb of Fernhill. Took 4 hrs to get to the summit. It was the toughest hike I've been on, so tough I even considered turning around, but once I saw those clouds below me half way through,...

This was a hike I did in New Zealand 2 years ago. I figure it's time to share some of these pictures with the almighty OT.

Croatia will be flooded with tourists during the summer (especially Dubrovnik and Plitvice). If you want to head somewhat off the beaten path, check out the Town of Sibenik. It's between Zadar and Split. There's lots of history and the Season 5 of Game of Thrones should be filmed there. Krka is also...

Check out the Town of Cloudcroft.
It's situated in the Lincoln National Forest at an altitude of 8,600 ft. It has its own climate, in which the high is usually 25 degrees cooler than the desert cities below like nearby Alamogordo. Therefore, it's an excellent summer get away. There's lots of out...

This.
The San Antonio Riverwalk is a giant tourist trap. I don't get people's fascination with that place.
The Alamo is cool, especially if you're a history buff.
If you change your mind and head to Austin instead, check ou...
