Whew. Just returned from a business trip where we visited 3 countries within 6 days. We landed in Belgium and took a car to Frickenhousen, Germany. Yep, you heard me correctly. It’s a fricken good time in Frickenhousen. The quaint village is a winery and has fields of private vineyards.  Not the best wine, but while we were there they had a wine festival and the entire village came out to listen to music, dance and celebrate good wine.

Next, we were off to Genk, Belgium, where we met with our EMEA partners. The meetings were long, but the end of the day brought a surprise with a wonderful italian restaurant where we had some of the best italian I have experienced. Next, our journey took us to Barcelona, Spain to complete site previews for an upcoming conference. To say we were exhausted at this point is an understatement. We visited two hotels, the Olympic grounds and toured the city with a driver.

All in all, it wasn’t your average business trip. Good wine, nice dinners and Olympic stadiums are not typically on the agenda for my business trips. Missed my husband and Jackson, but if you have to travel, this is the way to go. It was a frickenhousen good time…
