somehow, though, I'd rather die in a car accident than at the hands of

those monsters -- They don't just crucify and behead people, they

rape and torture them too.

I appreciate your courage, and I actually have traveled a lot myself,
though I confess to being a tad less fearless than you (I make a point, for instance, to never fly overseas on September 11 or on any American Holiday)

Croatia IS beautiful, Lydia --- I've not only been there several times,
but I have a couple of friends there. I'm actually less afraid of Croatia,
though it is very close to Muslim Bosnia, something that never bothered me until now, than I am of the giant hub of Frankfort airport.
.
I probably will wind up going -- Mr. WTH is less anxious than I, but regardless of what happens, I want to thank you for weighing in and
giving me the benefit your experience.
