What cities in Poland have you visited?
I went to Krakow a couple of years ago and thought it was wonderful. Now I plan on visiting Warsaw, and I have some extra days before I fly out of there.
I think I'd like to go to Gdansk because of the association with Solidarity and Lech Walesa. From the pictures I've seen, it looks quite attractive. There is an inexpensive flight from Vilnius, which will be my last Baltic city, and a truly cheap flight from Gdansk to Warsaw. I think I can fit in one more city. I was thinking about Poznan or Wroclaw.
Any thoughts? Was there a Polish city you especially liked. I love beautiful architecture, history, culture, and generally wandering around taking in the ambiance.

Kraków, Żnin (to visit Biskupin) Toruń, Frombork, Malborg, Gdynia, Gdańsk, Sopot, Zakopane, Szczecin, Hel, Jastarnia, Biała Podlaska, Poznań.
The Tri-City area and Krakow are my favourites. I would pick Frombork over Malborg, Torun over Warsaw.

Visited Krakow and it was one of my favorite cities in Europe. Helpful people, great food, interesting architecture. But it's a city to visit for a few days. We took an excursion to the Wieliczka Salt Mine. Very interesting.

Last summer I spent four weeks in Wroclaw and never ran out of things to do. A very interesting city, and not yet spoilt by tourism like Krakow.
You may want to have a look at my Wroclaw travel page over on Virtualtourist: http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/f86bd/71e92/

Hii! 
Last summer I was in Gdynia and I spent wonderful time there! It was amazing! I sunbathed, rested on the beach and felt great! My hotel - Neptun Hotel - was amazing too! Especially service! The weather was beautiful and my kids had fun too. I recommend it to you!

A lot of people mentioned Polish seaside. I love te Polish sea too. Tricity is great but I love Ustka more than Tricity. It's perfect place for looking for an the amber. And villages near to Ustka are beautiful. And I enjoyed my staing in really great hotel which made me feel even better.
And I like Lublin so much. This is small city but nice and calm. There is a neogothical castle which looks like an owl.

Zakopane! I think this place is amazing. I've seen Morskie Oko - one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
Moreover, Krakow (probably the better Polish place for tourists).
And I'm thinking of Polish seaside too, but maybe not Gdansk (I want to see something smaller).

Krakow and a lot of cities/villages of Polish seaside, for example Tricity (Gdansk, Gdynia, Sopot), Swinoujscie, Ustka. You really should go to Gdansk. It isn't too expensive. And you can touch the history, like places connected to Walesa, as you mentioned.
And Wroclaw is more worth seeing than Poznan, definitely.
