Default Going to Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy

I posted a topic about this quite a while ago, but the trip is coming soon so I wanted to revisit it to see if anyone has any advice, comments or would like to possibly meet up for a beer or something .

Here is my trip so far:

JULY 1st - Arrive in Madrid.

JULY 1st to 5th - Stay in Madrid, then leave for Malaga on the morning of the 5th.

JULY 5th to JULY 12th - Madrid to Malaga. We already have a house reserved in Malaga so we are obligated to stay there. We will probably take a day to go to Morocco while we are staying in Malaga and also maybe visit neighboring cities in Spain during our stay. We will leave for Paris on the 12th.

JULY 13th - Arrive in Paris.

JULY 13th to 15th - We will take a car from Paris and visit Normandy, Mont St. Michelle and the Loire Valley. After that short car trip, we will head back to Paris.

JULY 16th to JULY 19th - Stay in Paris then leave for Brussels.

JULY 19th - Spend the day in Brussels and than leave for Koln to stay the night.

JULY 20th - Leave Koln and head to Nurenberg!

JULY 20th to JULY 22nd - Formula One race bitches!

Here is where I need some help

JULY 22nd to JULY 23rd
- After the race we will leave for Stuttgart. Is there anything worth seeing in Stuttgart? I know the MB Museum is there, but can I visit the Porsche Factory or anything else as well? If not, we may just pass through Stuttgart and head off to Switzerland. Also, which part of Switzerland should we go too? I think we have a choice between Zurich and Lugano. Where is Singen? If we stay the night in Stuttgart, then we will only have a day in Switzerland as we pass through to Italy, but if we don't stay in Stuttgart, then we will stay the night somewhere in Switzerland.

The Italy portion isn't totally figured out yet. We may switch Florence and Venice.

JULY 23rd - Head to Florence.

JULY 23rd to JULY 30th - Stay in Florence. My mom has been there about 6 times before so she will be our tour guide. I think we will take some time there to go to Cinque Terre and some other nearby places. Anyone know if the Ferrari factory is worth visiting or is it closed to the public? From there we will head off to Rome.

JULY 31st to AUGUST 2nd - Stay in Rome and then leave for Pompeii.

AUGUST 2nd to AUGUST 3rd - Pompeii and Naples then head to Venice (I know that seems ass backwards, going from one end of the country to the other and back, so we may change the order).

AUGUST 4th to AUGUST 6th - Stay in Venice.

AUGUST 6th
- Come home and deal with all the backed up bills and traffic on the 405 :cry:


Thats the trip so far. Let me know if you have suggestions, comments or want to meet up
