Explanation:
Note:
"Kako si?" is used when addressing the person that you now very well.
"Kako ste?" is more appropriate when addressing the person of any kind of elevated status, or an older person.

Bok, Zdravo or Cao...

Explanation:
As a Hello! in Croatian you can use Bok as a most common greeting and also Zdravo or Cao as a secondary ones.

Bok!
Kako si?
Ja cu stici/doci* u Zagreb, u ponedeljak.
Zdravo/Pozdrav**.
Stephen

* Here you can use stici or doci both are ok.
** In this case If you translate Goodbye as it is it means that you'll never see that person again or you don't want to. Goodbye = Zbogom.
Two solution which I wrote are better choice because they mean Bye...
Zdravo = Bye and Hello
Pozdrav = Greeting(s)

If you have to write it - as written.
If you have to say it - [Bok, ka-ko-si, sti-zhem, u, za-greb, u, po-ne-de-l'ak, po-zdrav, S.]
zh - as in pleasure

Hope your visit to Zagreb will be pleasant:)))))))

Bok, kak si kaj. Stizem u Zagreb u ponedjeljak. Vidimo se! Stephen

Explanation:
If you want to SAY it to someone who lives in Zagreb this is the slang you should use it if you want to be "cool" and that someone is a close friend of yours.

If it's e.g. a business partner you should rather say: "Dobar dan, kako ste. Stizem u Zagreb u ponedjeljak. Dovidjenja! Stephen"

"stizem" is pronounced "stee-(*)-em"
(*) as in measure

Have a nice trip!
