Oh how nice, a new adventure! You should receive a flight itinerary - a detailed plan flight plan. It will show each time you changed planes and where. May also be announced on your flight and seen on the many airport arrival / departure screens. Use your itinerary to match your flight to the correct gate, then follow the alpha-numeric signs to the corresponding gate. Use the extra time before your first flight, to check out the arrival / departure screens and where they lead. It is the same system world-wide. Changing money at the overseas bank will give you the best return. Detailed answers at http://www.gocurrency.com/travelers-tips.htm. Good stuff there. Telephone calls home require a country code. Poland is 48. For Mexico the code is 52. Example; in the London I have to use 00 to dial out. The US country code is 1, so I'll dial 00-1-yyy-xxx-xxxx. (y=area code). The main thing I would recommend is taking the little things that make your more comfortable, that we all take for granted. Except for AC powered gadgets. Most power in Europe is 220 VAC, with way different plugs. Enjoy your trip.
