I (Evie) compiled several lists I received of what we should bring to Poland, here is the result:

What to bring to Poland

Bedroom/bath items:
Sheets, flat (queen or larger)
Towels
Facial tissues
Antibacterial hand gel
OTC med's

Kitchen/laundry items:
Lunchboxes
Tupperware-type containers
Zip-lock bags – all sizes
Hand held can openers, whisks
Favorite pots, pans, utensils, baking pans, etc.
Pizza pan/baking stones

Muffin tins
Measuring cups with BOTH metric and ounces
Thermos
Lysol-type spray
Dryer sheets - not much good there aren't many dryers!
Favorite detergent

Food items:
Pancake mix, breakfast drinks, or exotic spices, corn syrup
Chocolate chips
Chocolate baking powder
Rotel tomatoes
Candles

Specialty Clothing:

Waterproof boots (good, warm ones)
Silk Underwear (when Wes heard this he was all for it, but we found out they meant Long Johns made of silk or some other thin, insulating material)
Wooly socks
Ski-type coat (last year I don't think I even wore my Texas appropriate coat more than 2 times! We'll be looking for warmer coats before we move)

Other items:
Board games
Bikes
Books
Day planner/calendar in English
Plug adaptersTransformers 220 down to 110v and larger ones 200-300Watts


What an adventure we are about to embark on! I don't know what Wes will do without his usual Tex-Mex food fix...I guess I will have to learn how to make enchiladas and tamales. I heard that cabbage is put in Mexican food in Poland, not sure what that would do to the taste, but mixing beans and cabbage can't be a good thing!
