Do you know what Raguza means? Back in the 1500s and on Dubrovnik was considered the wealthiest region in Europe, what Luxemburg, or Lichtenstein would be today. The English use to call their merchant ships Argosy, or in Greek Argonauti. Raguza's expansion to the north established the town of Ston which is considered the world's oldest sea salt production. A kilogram of salt back then was equal to a kilogram of gold, that's how valuable it was. Anyone traveling there definitely need to visit Ston, plus Pelesac is a great wine region where Grgic has his original vineyards. For those who don't know Grgic practically put Napa Valley in California on the map buy winning a chardonnay taste test in France. A movie was based on this, and when Grgic immigrated to the States he brought one grape vine with him from Croatia, true story.
BTW Delta certainly is starting JFK service, should be announced any day now. .
