We have an interesting situation: I decided to use up all of my United miles before retiring and eleven months prior to the departure in late August, booked two seats to Venice, returning a week later. I should mention here that I've sold in Europe for thirty years and, at the time of making the reservation, thought we would go to Verona (including the opera) and Cortina. Because of my business I've been in this part of Italy many times and know my way around it. Exploring Asolo, Bassano and the Italian Alps and its foothills are a real adventure that we have planned on since confirming the tickets. One last visit to Venice-which we first visited almost twenty years ago-was also a type of possible anniversary for us. But....I am fascinated by Dubrovnik. And Split is almost unknown by Americans. We could still use the same airline tickets, flying into Venice, rent a car and circuitously travel the coast ending up in Dubrovnik. I have an impression that this is one of the most beautiful places on earth but almost unknown by most Americans. I've seen numerous travel videos including the Amazing Race, all of which intrigue me. Has anyone been?

A little piece of trivia from the gold-medal game: the second-leading scorer was Dino Radja with 23 points, and the leading scorer was none other than Drazen Petrovic with 24 - obviously, this was due to a balanced attack by the United States. The only USA player held scoreless was an ailing Larry Bird who was visibly in a great deal of pain.
