I would like to ask you all for your best travel advice

Dear Crown Friends,
 

My husband and I want to make a vacation to Croatia in 2005. We would like to start off in Zagreb and make a road trip all the way down to Dubrovnik stopping all along the way. I would like to ask you all for your best travel advice. In 2003 I asked for your travel advice and everyone gave us such great tips. We visited Hvar and Dubrovnik and had the most amazing time!
We will probably make our trip in July. Can you suggest places to stop and see along the way from Zagreb to Dubrovnik? What about places to stay and restaurants to visit? Is it possible to rent an apartment for less than a weeks time during the peak summer months? I am guessing that we will have just about 19 days for this trip.
I really enjoyed reading all your emails last time. Hope to hear from you all again soon!
Please send emails to patandnan@prodigy.net
 

Thank you very much!
