I don't have exact plans for 2012 yet, but I have some dreams and some options to choose:
1. Take picture of an eagle in Poland (winter)
2. Snowdownia National Park - maybe during long weekend in May?
3. Tuscany in late spring - have idea of few pics to take (probably June?)
4. Mount Blanc 4-day hike (Jun/Jul?)
5. Kilimanjaro hike and some pics taken (Aug/Sep?)
6. Alberta province in Canada (if not Kilimanjaro then definitely Canada is an option!)
7. Cuba or Key West or New Orleans - I dream of one of these places (February would be perfect, but probably not this year)

And definitely I'll not forgot to visit:
1. Biebrza
2. Białowieża and bisons there
3. Karkonosze/Tatry/Bieszczady
4. Mazury Airshow and maybe some other airshows in Poland (but this is not good year for them)
5. Axalp 2012 and Swiss Alps - it seems to become a rule in my life

So above I've some ideas and now I must think how to transform them into reality. As usual I wish you Happy New Year 2012 and please wish me luck with my plans :)

Trip of my life confirmed!

Yes! I'm so happy, because I've just received confirmation that I'll have an opportunity to see something that not many people living on Earth seen from such a close distance. Moreover I believe to have a chance to take unique pictures (is Canon gonna make it?). Unfortunately I must wait till 2013 and prepare a little bit for this trip. Luckily I found a sponsors who will pay for it. My government contacts helped me a lot. The rest will be paid by private companies. And you must know that this kind of trips aren't cheap! Now I've to pass all the medical research and if everything is ok, in two years I'll see Space from the very close distance. You don't even know how happy I am!!! I definitely recommend the company organizing such trips: Space Adventures.

Montenegro trip

As you probably remember from my previous posts, I had a lot of travel plans for 2010. Unfortunately I switched the job and due to this have vacation problems, so instead of going to where I planned, I had to rearrange my plans. So I took the opportunity to use only 2 days off (because of Corpus Christi holiday) and have 6 days for trip to Montenegro. I know it will be very tough, but it might be the only chance to take some nice landscape pictures in the first half of the year. Now I'm browsing the net and searching for the spots. If you have any tips, please let me know. I'm also wondering which route to take - we'll probably go to Belgrad, then Montenegro, but still considering other choices....
