Bags are packed....

I'm all packed and ready to go. Looks like hotel location in both Milan and Barcelona are ideal.

Biggest concern is transportation from Malpensa to hotel. Really wishing that I would have stayed on top of Italian lessons. Feeling a bit rusty. Hoping that I'll get into the swing fairly quickly.

Preparing to go to Europe

Fresh off my one week intensive "International Business" class at University of South Carolina. Spent a lot of time analyzing differences in business practices specifically in terms of marketing around the world.

My focus on my Europe trip will be to observe the business practices-similarities and differences in Italy and Spain. Also, I will look at how the culture impacts business practices.
