Jay Talking Travel Suggestion: 'Consider The Dalmatian Coast .'

It's March 2015 and you need a change. Perhaps you are sick and tired of sweating the "bad economy," and you are looking for a new place to go for a vacation. You are tired of road trips and weekend jaunts and you want to "go for it." Something really out of the box. A destination that is exotic, safe, sun-drenched, and above all, really different. Your answer lies just west of Italy, on the Adriatic Sea. Try Croatia. Dubrovnik is breath taking, Makarska is tranquil, and a quick jaunt down to Kotor Bay in Montenegro is well worth the effort.

This is a big time vacation for a moderate price. The airfare to Split is steep, but once you get in-country, the bang for the buck is huge.

Pack light so you are mobile. This allows you to "play it by ear."

Here is an insider hint. On your last night before departure back to the States, stay in the charming walled town of Trogir. It is a travel dream come true. Be sure to try the roasted whole calamari.
