Any recommendations for Normandy? Should I find a tour group or just make an itinerary? How hard is it to get around? Trying to take my dad whose dad was there on D-day. Neither of us are pro travelers, but my dad much less so. Need all the advice we can get.

I drove myself around Normandy a few years ago before maps on phones were common. It was easy enough and today it would be a lot easier. We went to the Caen Memorial museum. There are other museums around the area. We went to some cemeteries and also some beaches where you can still walk into the German bunkers.

Becoming a manger in my current company/path will probably get me there in terms of TC. Also considering EMBA from a good school (Wharton Global, Duke, Kellogg, Booth).
