Pre-trip expectations

I'm pretty excited about going on the trip, it will be great to get out of the country again and live on the road. There's something really spectacular about it. I am a little concerned about being able to pay attention during all of the lectures and being able to ask effective questions. I am really excited to meet with a few companies, namely Disney, Microsoft, IMD, and NATO. I'm also excited to get to know the scholars better too, it will be fun to see us all after the trip. I am really expecting to learn a lot about how business is in Europe and how the Europeans perceive the United States. I am also expecting to get a better understanding of the European governments.
