…to return to Poland, and so tonight I finalized my airline reservations for my next trip. I am very excited. I will be in Poland for just shy of 3 weeks this time. I have been graciously invited by my cousin (3rd cousin) Alicja and her family to spend the time with them. They have promised to show me the real Poland. We’ll also be going to Ukraine where we have relatives, to visit them. I hope to see many great sights, things ordinary tourists do not see. And I hope to just soak up some of the culture which I feel is already in my blood.
Stay tuned, there may be some surprises along the way. My friend Chris, who organized the tour I went on last year, is trying to set up an interview for me with the president of Lublin (equivalent to the mayor of a US city), or maybe it’s with a Lublin TV station. I’ll need a translator, but fortunately will have that. We’ll see if we can pull that off.
On the way to Ukraine and the home of our ancestors, I hope to visit Lwow (Lviv), it is supposed to be a grand city.
I may even take of a few days here and there on my own and explore. Have English-Polish dictionary and a rudimentary command of a few simple phrases, will travel.
I will be flying into and out of Gdańsk where my family/relatives live. It should be a very nice time of year to visit and a great time. I am really looking foward to it.
