jeaniebobeanie 33 Posted February 3, 2016 I used to live in Slovakia and we'd go to Poland for skiing and drinking weekends...it's a beautiful country! Not that you'll have a ton of time for shopping, but they've got the most gorgeous ceramics there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeaniebobeanie 33 Posted February 3, 2016 @@robbie&kaitlyn - so glad! Just out of curiousity, where in Poland? I was in the Peace Corps, and my best friend there lived in a mountain town called Poprad that was just on the other side of the border from Zakopane, a ski resort town we used to go to all the time. We also went clubbing in Krakow and had the most amazing blowout weekends there...ah, to be young enough to stay awake past 10:00 pm... Seriously, though - will you have time to sight see? The Tatry mountains are stunning, and some of those old cities have unbelievably beautiful medieval castles and churches. Beer's awesome, too (although you probably won't be doing a lot of that, what with the surgery and all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
perforce 243 Posted February 3, 2016 I'm writing this from my hospital bed in the Czech Republic. I also came alone from the UK and it's been fine. In hindsight I think it's better because if people had been here we would have had to talk about it and I would just have gotten myself more wound up.

OKCPirate 5,323 Posted February 3, 2016 I would have gone alone to Mexico if all my friends hadn't freaked out. So I paid for my mom to come out (retired RN who speaks Spanish). It was a waste of time, except to catch up with her. You will be fine alone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
