The European Tour Belgium, England, France, Italy, Spain

The European Tour Belgium, England, France, Italy, Spain The travel plans are 99% nailed down, and they look like this: The last time I was in Europe I made some mistakes.  I flew in, went to my hotel and slept, spoke for eight hours the next day, went to dinner (a couple of hours away not a good idea after speaking for a full day), then went back to my hotel, slept, and then went to the airport to fly home.  I got to see a little bit of Istanbul, but I really should have planned that better. This time, Im planning it better!  Im taking a couple of my kids, arriving near the city Im speaking almost a week early, and staying in Europe for a month.  Take that, jet lag!! While there, I want to do it all.  I am creating lists of things to do in each country well be in, and want to soak up the sights/sites, the food, the language, and the culture. Ill spend about 5 days in each city Ill be in, and hope that will give me enough time to experience a bit of that culture. Im super excited. From what I hear, there arent traditional job clubs or job ministries, but I will be contacting a few schools to see if I can speak to their business and MBA students. If you know of any places I could speak, and can make introductions, Id appreciate it. Ive learned there is  balance for trips like this.  I have to balance work with downtime. I typically have that very out-of-balance (like the time I was in Minneapolis and spoke 14 times in 3 days or was it 13 times in 4 days?  Either way, it was really intense).  This time, though, Ill have my kids, and I want to make sure that we make memories together.  So, Ill guard my time carefully and not over do it. This trip will be mid-May to mid-June.  Have any advice, tips, pointers, or contacts?  Would love to hear them and get intros!
