LOT air is great, I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of traveling to Poland or Eastern Europe We stayed in the Warsawa Westin Hotel in Warsaw EXCELLENT, expensive, but well worth it We had a banquet there for 20 family members that I have never met before What a family Re-union or should I say UNION.... Family came from Belarus and all parts of Poland to meet my husband and I. Saw Warsawa, Krakow, Concentration Camps in Auschwitz. etc....Bialystok, Poltusk, oh so many towns ( mostly Center of Poland, Southern Sections and some Northern Sections of the country) And the FARMLANDS ARE AMAZING....

Hi Rose, Glad you had a wonderful experience! We would like to go to Poland next year... did you drive at all? If not , how did you get around? I've heard that driving in Poland is worse than driving in Italy! We survived that, but wonder if we should try it in Poland.

I have driven in Poland several times.? About 7 miles from Warsaw the roads are very American and after that they become two lane no shoulder roads.? Driving is not bad except for the maniacs who pass just feet away from you.? This is common.? However, they must be excellent drivers as I never saw an accident.? Once you get into the villages , the roads become one lane dirt roads and if it rains you now have a one lane wet ditch.? Twice I had to get out of my car and move cows who would decided to stand in the middle of the one lane dirt road.? Make sure that you get a good Polish road atlas map, the maps that come with a rental car will not get you anywhere.? This is the only way to get to your family villages.? I never saw a bus going on these dirt roads.? Villagers of all ages and sex ride bikes. Choosing Italian drivers over Polish ones (I was just in Italy a month ago) I would choose the Poles.? I think that the only way to cross the street in Rome is to close your eyes and run, hoping that the cars will not hit you. -----Original Message----- From: Sandra <skbdesign@yahoo.com> To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 9:16 pm Subject: Re: [PBS] My trip to Poland Hi Rose, Glad you had a wonderful experience!

Rose, I really enjoyed your message about your trip to Poland. I wondered what your reaction was when you went to Auschwitz? I am old enough to remember the end of WW2 and the liberation of those camps and I still have that terrible feeling of horror how any so called human could treat another human in that manner.
