I am planning a roots trip to Lithuania and Latvia this summer. I expect to hire
Aleks Fegmanis as a guide in Latvia, visiting Dvink and Riga. But I am looking for some recommendations on guides in Lithuania >from people who have been there recently. I found postings for about 10 years ago about the guide Regina Kopilevich. Can anyone on the list have contact information? I hope to visit Keidan, Kovno, Slobodka and Srednik.I'd be interested in any travel advice about Latvia and Lithuania as to getting around, such as renting a car, taking buses and trains, cautions, places to stay. Any help would be appreciated offline or online, whatever is appropriate.
