Regarding #6 and #7, another tip: Don't underestimate the power of sign language and don't be afraid to embarrass yourself.
When in Italy, I waved my arms and clucked at the grocery store to inquire where I could find chicken breasts. When in France, I pretended I was scrubbing my armpits to inquire where I could find bars of soap. Both efforts were successful!
Thank you Toni! Great tips here too. I think you’re totally right. We need to be ok messing up. And hand gestures (most of them at least) can be universal.
So wonderful your mom was there to share this special day with you and your bride! Fantastic! Felicidades!
Thank you Jeanine! It was a blessing to have her with us.
Congratulations for getting married!
And thank you for sharing info on Croatia and Hum :)
Thank you Gabi!! And my pleasure. Have you been to Hum?
