I go to Poland a couple of times each year to do family research.  When in Warsaw, I stay at the Marriott becomes it is centrally located.  Is the village Lodziajek that you are looking for Lozdziaja now Lazdijai in Lithuania close to the border of Poland and the town of Sejny?  If so you will not be able to take a rental car from Poland into Lithuania.  I had a similar experience one year.  I drove from Warsaw to Sejny and then hired a cab driver to drive me to the town in Lithuania.  I paid him $100 for the entire day. It was a days journey for me to drive from Warsaw to Sejny. Gas is very expensive in Poland, the roads are not very good and the Poles drive worse than the Italians, cars pass one another with just inches to spare.  But if this is the only way to get to your villages than do it.  It is worth all of the trouble. September is a lovely time in Poland, but remember the seasons change earlier in Poland than here in the US.  Trees will be changing color by the first of September. -----Original Message----- From: Dickdoms@aol.com To: polandbordersurnames@rootsweb.com Sent: Tue, 26 Jun 2007 12:22 pm Subject: [PBS] Help for Poland trip I have booked a trip to Poland for September, 2007.
