Split is the second-largest city in Croatia and the largest one on the Dalmatian coast, so it stands to reason that you will have a blast when visiting. This historic city dates back some 1,700 years, with Diocletian's Palace sitting at the centre of its history and Old Town. This impressive waterfront city is the perfect starting point for all your adventures along the coast, however it is also well worth some dedicated time to explore all the city has to offer. Here are our must-do things in Split: 1. Visit Diocletian's Palace - built in the 4th Century by Roman Emperor, Diocletian, the palace is now UNESCO Protected and is one of the best-preserved examples of Roman architecture. 2. Climb the bell tower at the Cathedral of St. Dominus and take in the incredible views of the Old Town, Marjan Hill and surrounding islands 3. Sip coffee and people watch on the Riva Promenade; a waterfront city location featuring palm trees and polished marble floors 4. Wine and dine at Republic Square 5. Rub the toe of the Grgur Ninski statue located just outside the palace walls, which is rumoured to bring good luck! 6. Climb Marjan Hill for beautiful views across the city of Split. The park is full of pine trees, walking trails and even a small local zoo!

GTFO plan - Our 1984 Catalina 30' under sail There is no better feeling than flying with the wind on a sailboat! This is a short clip from our current "practice" boat. We currently own a 1984 Catalina 30’ monohull sailboat on the Chesapeake Bay. This is our practice boat and is not designed for the open ocean and too small for full-time, liveaboard life. Our future boat will be a Neel 51' trimaran! We want to share our GTFO plan of retiring early to explore the world. We plan to retire June 1, 2023, Dennis’s mandatory retirement date when he will have served 30 years in the Army. We plan to buy a Neel 51’ trimaran (http://www.neel-trimarans.com/modele_bateau/neel-51/). A trimaran is much safer than a catamaran, more comfortable than a monohull, faster to escape bad weather, and spacious to accommodate our Brady Bunch, and possibly you! We plan to name her Just a Kiss which describes our wonderful 2nd date back in 2015. Learn with us as we prepare to GTFO and sail the world! Kisses, Ann & Dennis
