We've got to spread my dads ashes at the Isle of Magee in Ireland next summer but we are talking about making a side stop in Poland and needed some suggestions on places to see? We have maybe a week and a half tops.

Week and a half in Poland?

For both Ireland and Poland. Ireland the trip is pretty well set.....Poland is where the help is needed.

 

How long in Poland?

Maybe as much as 5 days

 

why are you going to poland?

I went to the Wieliczka Salt Mine, they carved a cathedral out of salt underground. Was very interesting.

Family interest (My grandmother is from there) Really want to see anything related to WW2

 

Renting or have access to a car?

Renting

 

The camps....

Are you a laid back guy or is it going to be go, go, go?

Probably go go go. We have a limited amount of time considering

 

For sure Oswiecim (Auschwitz)

Warsaw.

I flew into Poznan, only stayed there a day. Had a fantastic time. Didn't see much there, drank and ate mostly. That was actually how I spent most of the trip, drinking and eating... Anywho, I was fairly rushed as well, but it was still relaxing. Re-entered Poland and stayed in Cracow for a day, then continued on to Warsaw. Drove through Radom (ate at a Mc'D's too) If you're an ak guy you might enjoy it, stopped and got a picture with the city limit sign. I'm sorry I'm not being specific, we went without a plan, aside from a general timeline.

I'm really bad at trying to type things out, thoughts are so jumbled. I had a great time in Poland. I'd love to go back. The food, the beer, the sights, the people. Everything about it was amazing. Cities were destroyed, leveled. The Poles are good people. They are favorable towards Americans. They hate communists. Pope John Paul II is a stud there.

I'm tired and drunk. I hate typing on this laptop. Maybe I just hate typing... You have Andy's number?

First time overseas?

Sorry about your dad.
