The U.K. is notorious for having the most difficult border crossing in Europe.  The border agents for the U.K. are the strictest, most annoying, and down-right ridiculous immigration control people of any country that I have been to in Europe.

I have had to endure questioning from these dolts so many times that I can’t even count; but, through this process, I have learned what they want to hear and what they don’t want to hear.

Below, I will share my experiences with you and tell you how to get through the U.K. immigration control.

This also works exactly the same for Ireland.  Anywhere you read “U.K.” in this article, you can also read it as “U.K. and Ireland.”

This is a comprehensive review of my Croatia sailing experience. It covers everything from what the boat is like, the living conditions, a typical day, what the people are like, and my thoughts on the whole experience and whether you should or should not do it (hint: you should not).

I went with the tour company Busabout on a 7-8 day one way sail from Dubrovnik to Split on the Dalmatian coast in Croatia; but, this review should apply equally to just about all of the other tour companies running a sailing experience between Split and Dubrovnik, regardless of the route. All of the tour companies use the same type of boats, follow the same route, and dock next to each other during the day and night; regardless of which company you use, the experience will be similar if not exactly the same.

Also, I must mention that I paid for this tour myself. Some travel bloggers were given this trip for free and you should not at all trust their reviews!

In Europe they have such crazy and interesting cigarette packages.  There, they are really trying to scare people away from smoking, but, in reality, it has the effect of people showing off the new packages to their friends to see which ones they got, kind of like when you used to display your baseball or similar cards to your friends.

The effect of crazy cigarette packages is quite comical…
