"New York Times": Kraków jest fantastyczny!
PAP 04-06-2005, ostatnia aktualizacja 04-06-2005 20:40

Polska jest wciąż przystępna cenowo i jest wspaniałym celem podróży
wakacyjnych dla rodzin ze starszymi dziećmi, które mogą odkryć historię tego
kraju - napisała w sobotnim The New York Times specjalistka od turystyki
Ellison Poe z Arkansas.

"Kraków jest fantastyczny" - pisze Poe w cotygodniowym dodatku turystycznym
do nowojorskiej gazety. "Jest to jedno z najpiękniej zachowanych miast i nie
znajduje się jeszcze na utartym szlaku" (turystycznym).

Według Poe, która minionej zimy wraz z rodziną odwiedziła Polskę, za "kilka
lat Kraków będzie takim miastem jak Praga".

Nowojorski dziennik zaleca, by podróżując z USA na Stary Kontynent rozważyć
wyjazd poza "Londyn i Paryż" - do Europy

          zaprośmy tą Panią do Szczecina i zaprowadźmy do gmachu na Armii Krajowej i
          pokażmy jej panów prezydentów. Oni też są wspaniali i magicznie. Istny skansem z
          czasów PRL.

            Brawo gazeta! Oto tekst z NYTIMESa:
            WHILE travel costs are rising - up some 4 percent for hotel rooms this year
            alone, according to the Travel Industry Association of America - there are
            places to visit that can help rein in the costs. All-inclusive deals can offer
            something for the whole family, and if you know where to go, even the Caribbean
            and Europe are within reason. High prices don't have to trip up family fun.
            Sure, Orlando now has luxury options for adults like the Ritz-Carlton Grande
            Lakes, but there is a new more affordable hotel that is unabashedly for the
            kids. At the Nickelodeon Family Suites by Holiday Inn, (866) 462-6425,
            www.nickhotel.com, SpongeBob SquarePants will deliver the wake-up call and kids
            can get slimed at nightly shows at Studio Nick. The 777-room resort has suites
            of various sizes with bunk beds and wall murals of Jimmy Neutron and other Nick
            personalities. Meals for children under 12 are generally free, though there is a
            charge for the Nick character breakfast ($8 for kids under 12). And if you can
            tear the little ones away from the resort's two water-slide areas, water geyser
            and 400-gallon dump tank that drops water down on kids, free shuttles make trips
            to the surrounding theme parks. A two-bedroom suite in mid-July goes for $210 a
            night; $180 over Labor Day weekend.
            There are also values in heading west. You don't have to be Annie Oakley to
            visit a dude ranch; you don't even have to know how to ride a horse. Luxurious
            options like the new and much-publicized Resort at Paws Up in Greenough, Mont.,
            coddle guests with 300-thread-count sheets and wine poured by a staff sommelier.
            But there are plenty of more affordable options with packages that include cabin
            lodging, all activities and hearty meals.
            At Horseshoe Canyon Ranch, (800) 480-9635, www.gohcr.com, in Jasper, Ark., each
            guest is matched with a horse (kids 6 and older can ride on their own), and
            there are two rides a day led by the staff wranglers (there are typically 50
            guests at the ranch in summer). Guests who aren't old enough to ride by
            themselves are led by a staffer on bug-catching adventures and introduced to the
            resident pony, Silver. At the height of summer, all-inclusive weekly rates for
            adults are $990 and start at $510 for kids, but you can also stay for a shorter
            stint. Rooms are in one- and two-story log cabins. The summer daily rate is
            $185; $95 for children (three-day minimum stay); rates drop after Aug. 14.
            All-inclusive is also a good option in the Caribbean. The Sunset Beach Resort
            and Spa, (800) 234-1707, www.sunsetbeachresortjamaica.com, in Montego Bay,
            Jamaica, is planning to open an on-site water park in mid-July with a meandering
            river, a 40-foot-high suspended bridge, multiple waterfalls and two water
            slides, including one that propels guests through 250 feet of twists and turns.
            Accommodations, recently refurbished, have balconies with a view of the
            mountains or the ocean. A five-night stay at the beachfront resort starts at
            $1,700 for a family of four with all taxes and tips.
            The Tortuga Lodge and Gardens in Tortuguero, Costa Rica, (011-506) 257-0766,
            www.tortugalodge.com, was getting so many family visitors that it added three
            rooms, including a two-bedroom, two-bath suite, in December. The 50-acre
            eco-lodge offers boat trips through the Tortuguero National Park, swimming in
            the resort's salt-water pool, kayaking and plenty of wildlife spotting including
            nightly treks to watch 300-pound sea turtles lay eggs on the beach during the
            summer and early fall. The suite goes for $165 a night and a three-day package
            that includes all meals, activities and transportation (by plane, bus and boat)
            to and from San Jose starts at $1,116 for a regular room, and $1,182 for a suite
            for a family of four.
            There are also plenty of options at resorts that do big business in the winter.
            Prices drop during the summer at Whistler in British Columbia, where the dollar
            still has some pull, and activities abound. There is serious biking at Whistler
            Mountain, where you can watch people in full body armor barrel off jumps. There
            is also a less intimidating option at Blackcomb Mountain Magic Bike Park. The
            beginner chairlift was turned into two trails for novice mountain bikers and is
            ideal for kids. A $24 ($30 Canadian) pass buys unlimited runs for a family of
            four down either of the two groomed trails. For hotels, check out Tourism
            Whistler's summer peak adventure package; (800) 944-7853;
            www.tourismwhistler.com. A four-night stay at the five-star Westin Resort and
            Spa is $580 and includes four lift passes to go 7,000 feet up Whistler Mountain
            to view glaciers.
            Though the euro is still flying high against the dollar, a hop across the pond
            isn't out of the question. Think beyond London and Paris and consider options in
            Eastern Europe to get the most mileage out of the dollar. Poland is still
            affordable and a great option for older kids who might be ready to explore the
            area's history, says Ellison Poe, of Poe Travel in Little Rock, Ark. "Krakow is
            fantastic," said Ms. Poe, who is traveling to Poland this winter with her
            family. "It's one of the most beautifully preserved cities and is not on the
            beaten track yet. Krakow will be like Prague in a few years." For kids, Ms. Poe
            recommends a visit to the medieval Wieliczka Salt Mine, where there are guided
            tours of the underground labyrinth of caverns, lakes, centuries-old carvings and
            even several chapels carved out of the salt.
            There are reasonably priced high-end boutique hotels like the Wentzl ($195 a
            night weekdays, $166 on weekends, at $1.28 to the euro), older standbys such as
            the Francuski (from $150 a night), but also plenty of less expensive options
            such as Hotel Saski, (48-12) 421-4222, www.hotelsaski.com.pl, near market square
            in the center of town, where a room that can sleep three goes for $128.
            It's a good thing the hotels aren't taking much of a bite out of the budget.
            Flying to Europe at the height of summer can be pricey. LOT Polish flies
            directly to Krakow three times a week from New York for about $1,135, or through
            Warsaw for about $1,160. Lufthansa connects through Munich via its regional
            carrier, Lufthansa Cityline, for about $1,100. But if you can land a cheaper
            flight into London or Berlin and are willing to put in a little effort with an
            airport transfer, check out EasyJet. It flies to Krakow by way of Brandenberg
            airport (Berlin) in Schönefeld (one-way fares start at about $16.50, excluding
            taxes) or from Luton Airport outside of London, where fares are as low as $210
            round trip.
