So I've decide that I can fly to/from Warsaw for 14 days.
I also have the option of using the same flight to/from Kaunas (LT)
so I could do that in one direction.

I've done the Krakow/Oswiecim/Wieliczka/Zakopane gig
before, so I can pass on that destination.

What are the other "must sees" that I should try to include
in my trip.

I would highly recommend a trip aroud Lithuania. It's not very
touristy, cheap, reasonably well developed, and there are some awesome
things to see like Vilnius, Hill of Crosses, Stalin World, and the
Curonian Spit. See my website for pics.

We are moving there this weekend. Milan is bloody awful, and so we
found a beautiful little village about 15-25 mins from Genova, and got
a nice appartment with a sea view.

The lifestyle is a million times better than Milan, with sea and
mountains. The next town along is Recco, which has the best focaccia
on earth, and the town after that is the incredibly beautiful Camogli.
Cinque Terre is not far away, and Portofino is also close.

That's why! )

depend on what transport will you have I would add Gniezno, Lednica,
Pobiedziska, Poznan, and in Mazovia - Lowicz and Zelazowa Wola (and maybe
Nieborów/Arkadia).

It will be a bit risky what I'll write here, but, well...
PL, and especially Warsaw is in a way something you can't just see in order
to get to know. I would recomend Museum of Uprising, wich is visited by
Poles only although Poles know more/less the history. I couldn't see foreign
tourists there.

In LT Troki (Trakai) is a must see, btw THERE is (or maybe was) a
rastaurant, that you can really complain at pierogi. Kaunas is worth seeing
and, well, places like Kryziu Kalnas (Hill of Crosses) - depend on you

old castle, too.

Usually referred to as Trakai, about an hour from Vilnius by train or
bus.

The castle is absolutely outstanding, set in the midst of a lake (upon
which swans placidly glide). Very popular for wedding photos etc. It
isn't a ruin, and contains two very fine museums.

Trakai is still the home of the Kairites, the descendents of a group of
tartars that once constituted the personal bodyguard of the Grand
Dukes. They follow a 'heretical' version of judaism. Their prayer house
(Known as the 'kinnessa') is still in the town, and can sometimes be
visited.

You mean Karaites, I think. Try googling "karaite trakai" for more.
