Maybe I'm a bit unusual, but I have always wanted to visit Poland.
Russia, too.
I've been close. When I was an "Army Brat" during the "Cold War" we
were stationed in Germany and France. Poland, et al were still behind
the "Iron Curtain", so we couldn't go there even as tourists.
John,
In the early 70's when I was in the Army, I was told that I could not
go to any Iron Curtain country (except W. Berlin but needed orders
for that) because of the security clearance I had. I did travel all
over Europe (hit most of the countries) except Greece. I am still
sorry I didn't make it to there. I just got in my car and went
anyplace I could. I had 7 days (every other week) to make it there
and come back.
