This page will list proposed ideas for Ginger's 2027 trip to Poland. She will be in Europe on a cruise that ends in Copenhagen on July 19, 2027 and wants to fly to Kraków on July 20 for a post cruise trip. Kathy has a cruise on the Rhine River in that starts on July 26, so she can meet Ginger in Kraków for a pre-cruise trip. Kathy will arrive in Kraków at least a day before Ginger to adjust to the time zone changes. During that time, she can explore Old Town on her own. If Milena and her mother Helena (if she is also interested) want to join Ginger and Kathy from July 21-25, here are some suggestions on what they could all do together. No activity is required and additional suggestions are welcome! Kathy is flexible on arriving in Kraków earlier than Ginger's arrival on July 20. Ginger is flexible on leaving Kraków later than Kathy's departure on July 26 and will probably do so in order have a guided tour with Polish Origins Tours to find more relatives on her father's side.
