Help me make a freakin' decision

Here are your choices:

1) Southern Italy.
Ravello, Sorrento, Positano. Maybe a bit of Puglia?
PROS: Nearby, parlo italiano, food.
CONS: Same old, same old?

2) Greek Islands.
Santorini, Aegina, Mykonos.
PROS: Gorgeous. Different. Mellow or ancient site-seeing filled.
CONS: Filled with honeymooners? Hard to get around tiny islands?

3) Croatia
Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zagreb.
PROS: Varied scenery: forests, beaches, historic buildings. Totally new.
CONS: Totally unknown.

It's just me, and I've got about 5 days. What do you think? Also open to other suggestions. Not particularly interested in Spain, for no reason I can really determine, but anything reasonably close to France/Italy would be acceptable. I've given brief thought to Prague, Vienna, and Turkey, for what it's worth.

HELP ME.

OMG like so cute..ish

This dog, from the Daily Puppy a couple weeks ago, keeps cracking me up. He's so...proper, or something. Very composed, which is odd because his head doesn't even look like it belongs with the rest of his body.

Do you all remember that Treehouse of Horror episode of The Simpsons where Bart gets the power to make his thoughts real, and people have to all be very careful around him, because if he doesn't like them, he'll smite them or turn them into human jack-in-the-boxes, like he did with Homer?

That's what this dog reminds me of.

- These shoes make me want to wear yellow (whether or not I'd look disgustingly sallow in it is a separate issue)

- Hot nerds

- This hilarious random comic

- The word "f***ery", as used by Amy Winehouse in her song "Me and Mr. Jones", off her album Back to Black, which is excellent, particularly the title track

- The library

You can always be excited about the library.
