So the first spot is next to the huge shopping mall "Maxima" which lies outside the city, you can get there by taking a free bus (run by "Maxima" every hour, at **:45 from "Gerosios.") from the end stop of trolleybuses on the Savanorių avenue (stop named "Gerosios Vilties") with bus (or trolly bus) 4,6,11,12,14,15,16. see the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=Pirkli%C5%B3+gatv%C4%97,+Vilnius+LT-02029,+Litauen&daddr=Vilnius,+Lithuania&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=35.821085,56.601563&ie=UTF8&z=12 map]; once you are there, jump over the road onto the other side - there you will see a small parking space which is a perfect spot for the cars to stop while you are thumbing on the road. This place has never failed, and waiting times are always good.
Now some fences are being build between the bus stop and hitch-hiking spot, so it's better to take bus Nr. 29 at Savanorių bus stop towards Grigiškės, get out at huge market Gariūnai and then walk a little bit further, turn right and you'll appear standing on the highway to Kaunas.
The second spot is situated at the end of Savanorių avenue (see the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=Vilnius,+Lithuania&daddr=54.643744,25.203581&hl=en&geocode=&mra=dme&mrcr=0&mrsp=1&sz=14&sll=54.642453,25.203323&sspn=0.025579,0.055275&ie=UTF8&ll=54.654769,25.227356&spn=0.102285,0.2211&z=12 map], picture on the right), many buses and trolleybuses go there - it is easy to get there but the waiting time can be longer in comparison with the first described spot - it is mostly because of 2 reasons: less traffic towards Kaunas (since it is a road towards Alytus and Trakai, too), and competition (there wouldn't be a day without some local short-distance hitch-hiker standing and thumbing there).
