So after two years of canceled or postponed vacations for multiple reasons, I've finally booked one for the fall of this year, which will also be my 45th birthday present for myself.

Quick question ... anyone know how to say: "Help, I'm lost" in Polish, Slovakian or Hungarian? I could be in trouble here.

You can just say "Hallo" (Emphasis: HAH-lo) for hello AND goodbye, or "Szia" (pron "see-ya") in the same circumstances. You might have trouble getting used to people saying "Hello" to you when you leave a shop or a ticket booth, and "See ya" when you walk into a shop ;)

Another useful phrase is "Hol van (place name)..." (pron. Hohl vohn...) It means, "Where is....". Keep in mind that "S" in Hungarian is "Sh" in English, so Budapest is Budapesht in Hungarian.

German is very useful in Hungary. So if you speak it, you should be fine.
