Anthony Spaddy, welcome to FT! In addition to event logs for various cities that are place-specific, if you'd like to meet up with FTers in the places you plan to visit, check out the CommunityBuzz forum as, at any one time, there are meetups ("Dos") planned for many cities around the world. Often these involve dinner and sometimes tours and sightseeing in the "host" city led by host-city members. Also, any FT member who plans to be in a city not planning to hold a Do can post their plans and suggest one.
