Less than two weeks from now, I will be leaving the homeland for the first time EVER! 

Landing in Frankfort, Germany, I will be traveling with students and professors from Western Michigan University (WMU) and Ferris State University (FSU). This is a study abroad group from WMU Graphic and Printing Science department (www.wmich.edu/pci/gps/gps.html). 

The purpose of the trip is to attend the “Olympics” of Print and Graphics expos - at DRUPA (in Dusseldorf). Check it out: http://www.drupa.com. Looking forward to seeing the newest in technology within my industry. I will scope out innovative and beneficial ideas that will enhance my department at Pfizer, and the most current educational information for my students at WMU.

Following that, the rest of the two-week trip, we will be touring and visiting many incredible spots within Germany. There is a very full itinerary! Can't wait!

More later ……. Need to get back to organizing for the trip!
