Hello everyone,



September 2013, my sister and I with our husbands plan to visit East Poland.
We will fly to Warsaw and find our way to the Lublin area. We need a lot of
advice before we leave. To anyone who has been to Poland and specifically
that area, I need your help and advice!



We need to start at the beginning. Renting a car vs. taking the train to
Lublin. Any thoughts on this?



Our plan is to stay within the area of Lublin, Chelm, Wlodawa. I have not
mapped any of the other possible locations we want to visit besides
Dubeczno, Kulczyn, Wolka Nadrybska. We are hoping we can see everything and
go everywhere we want to go in 7 days. Any suggestions of anything else we
should do, for research as well as something to see in while in the area?
Cemeteries? 



We will need the services of a translator or driver/translator. Maybe for
the entire time if it is recommended we should not drive ourselves around.
Any recommendations and what can we expect to pay for this service. 



Are there any suggestions of where we should stay? Lublin? Chelm? Wlodawa? 



Our father's passport: I can see it was issued in Wlodawa, Jan 8, 1920.
Would looking for passport applications, if available, for my father and
siblings be of help to me and would Wlodawa be the place to look, or Warsaw?




I'm also going to look through past SGGEE journals, some of which I have
already saved in anticipation of someday taking this trip. If there is a
particular article that anyone recommends, please let me know. I may also
have emails from this list saved. I will also review those. 



Any and all help will be very much appreciated. We are seasoned travelers,
but not this kind of travel. When our Poland visit is complete, we'll fly
from Warsaw to Athens and continue with a small group and explore the Aegean
coastline, specifically Croatia then fly home from Zagreb.
