Nothing Like Ethnic Fighting on Your Summer Vacation

I hope to God, for all parties involved that the Kosovo declaration of independence goes well. There is so much mixed up history, numerous atrocities on both sides (Christian and Muslim), that I'm not well-versed enough to claim to have a position other than cautious.

Mike and I have been planning to visit Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina this summer. For anyone who wonders why I'd want to go to an area that is still recovering from war and possibly on the verge of another one - it's my father's homeland. They are wonderful places, rich with culture, people, stories, experiences. I've been there twice before, I love it, and part of me calls it home too.

And unless there is a civil war in Serbia, I'm pretty sure we're going. I mean, we bought our tickets, but thank God for travel insurance.
