complicated


In 1980, I was living in Amsterdam and some friends and I had a much anticipated trip planned to go to Yugoslavia. Just days before we were to leave, Tito died. That cancelled trip has been my biggest travel regret, though it couldn't be helped. In reality, we all just had Eurail Passes and not much money, so who knows what it would have been like.

Ah the road not taken. How inconsiderate of Tito:) it would have been a fascinating time to go.
My heads of state are here

I am so glad I did so much travelling in the early 80s - it's not as easy now, (even without covid restrictions) and your money doesn't get you as far. Croatia is still a dream...
