Planning my Trip and Welcome Company

Feb 11, 2018 My sister, Carol Rubin said she’d love to join my on my trip to explore Lithuania and Ukraine. Feb 17, 2018 Carol and I plotted out a tentative plan to fly into Warsaw, attend the IAJGS Conference, then tour Ukraine followed by Lithuania and then fly home from Vilnius. We booked our flights and split up responsibilities for excursions and lodging. Mar 21, 2018 I discovered the website  tourguides.viator.com  where you are able to connect with local Tour Guides who can lead you on excursions be they an hour or more, a whole day, or custom multi-day trips.  After interviewing a number of tour guides, reading their reviews, understanding their willingness to travel, and getting some rates; we decided that having a tour guide/interpreter for our entire trip to Ukraine and then to Lithuania would be ideal. We selected Diana Borysenko from Lviv, Ukraine and Marius Galadauskas from Vilnius, Lithuania to help us customize our Heritage Tours. Apr, 12, 2018 My first cousin,

A Genealogy Heritage Tour

Jan 1, 2018 In my geneology letter to my family, I shared that  the International Association of  Jewish  Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) is meeting in Warsaw, Poland August 6-10, 2018.  I'm seriously considering attending and in coordination with my trip, I am looking to do excursions to Lithuania and Ukraine to visit some  ancestral  homes. If anyone would like to join me, I think it will be a very  fascinating  trip. IAJGS Program: http://www.iajgs2018.org/program_schedule.cfm
