Hi Folks,
We're trying to decide where to go on tour this year. We have September 19-October 23rd open. We'll be doing either:
1. Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden
2. Paris Only
3. US tour to the West Coast and back from Indianapolis.
Less than 40 days to plan... no idea which to do. Sadly, there's not enough time for me to set up showcases on the route to LA, SF and back so other than a couple Los Angeles/Orange County things, I doubt we'll do many other events. I have a LOT of private business meetings to conduct in LA if we head that way.
Any thoughts?
Brian

Do your business first. Go west... Hang out with Jody and Greg, Go see Linda in Frisco. The business end may give you an opportunity to go to the other places. Be prudent.

I agree with Ben, with one caution. I am told if you say "Frisco" to anybody in California, they will beat you up. And don't call the state "Cali" either.

Well, health is always an issue and the long US trip would be pretty ambitious health wise. I think for that reason we may instead fly out to LA, do an event in OC, LA, have some meetings, perhaps fly up to SF to see an old friend who lives there now and then fly home in a week later in the year.
So now we're down to Europe. Paris allows me to have folks come to me like last time. It's central and easy to get to for most in Europe. The northern tour would be to see massive numbers of members in those countries for the first time face to face in their hometowns like I've done over the rest of the USA, Canada and much of Europe.

It's not ALWAYS a bad idea to take your own advice. "Go somewhere you've never been and do something with people you've never met".
But that's just your own opinion, you could be right.

Funny to read this Bob.. as we actually decided to do just that!
Munich, Germany to Liechtenstein to Switzerland to France to Italy to San Marino to Croatia to Bosnia to Slovenia to Hungary to Slovakia to Austria and back to Munich, Germany. Other than Munich, all other cities are new and so are several complete countries.
See... I not only give some good advice, I even take it. = )

Hi Mark,
We did a 5 week UK/Ireland tour in 2009. We're in Europe right now but in Switzerland. Hopefully you'll just hang around here and we can all pitch in and help you when you need it.
Thanks from Interlaken, Switzerland, Brian
