How do these things begin?

I'm planning a trip to Poland with my daughter, to see the country where some of my family and some her father's family have come from.  It's a big country, and we hail from all over--from the seaport of Gdansk to the mountain village of Czarny Dunajec.  And then there are the wonders of the Masurian Lake District and Krakow ... and we want to hop over to Germany to see a match in the Women's World Soccer championship!   How can we ever fit it all in?

We're in the "anything is a possibility" stage right now, leafing through tour books and scanning Web pages.  We're making lists and noting dates, and the more we research, the more things we fall in love with--and of course, the more things we know we'll eventually have to renounce.

But whatever happens, it will be wonderful.
