Winging it in Portugal
I'd been itching to get back across an ocean since the pandemic, so last winter we decided to finally make it happen and hired a travel agent to plan a trip to the Mediterranean. She suggested Croatia, we provided rough parameters and waited for a plan.
After months of no response, we gave a nudge, and I'm pretty sure she just copied and pasted someone else's Game of Thrones themed itinerary and sent it over. wtf? I mean, we've seen the show, but we're not super fans and don't really need GoT tours or private drivers every day of the trip. So, we gave her some feedback, didn't hear back for weeks, and eventually just let her know it wasn't gonna work out.
It was a bummer, but not wanting to give up on a trip, we spontaneously switched it …
