It’s time to begin another amazing journey

In a few hours, I will be on my way–first to Chicago, then to Gdańsk by way of Warszawa.  It will be a long day of travel, but in about 24 hours, it will be just past noon in Poland, and I’ll be landing in Gdańsk, ready to start this amazing trip. My bags are packed and ready by the door. If I forgot anything, well, they have stores in Poland, too. It was hard to know how and what to pack for three weeks. Maybe I overpacked? Maybe I didn’t take enough? Well, with stores, laundries, and the like, I will get by.

But mostly my trip will be about being a sponge. Yes, I plan on being a sponge and soaking up as much of Poland (and Ukraine) as I can. Meeting people, learing about them, the history, the culture. Experiencing daily life in Poland. I will soak up as much as I can and write as much as I can here in my blog, too. And pictures. Yes, I will take plenty of pictures. I have two cameras with me. One is a small (but powerful) point and shoot, small enough to fit in a pocket. The other is my digital SLR (DSLR), for the “bigger” jobs. I think they’ll both get a good workout this time.

So, I’m about to embark on an adventure. Thanks for reading along with me. Feel free to leave comments along the way, if you like. Next time I write, it’ll be from Poland, and it’ll be about “moja miłość do Polski.”
