Todd,
That's actually a very good idea. By the way, we've had customers knocking on our door last week - the guys were from France and just dropped by to say "Hi". I believe they were on a business trip here in Bulgaria and used the occasion to come see us.
You can combine the trip with active tourism which is kinda big in Bulgaria lately. Nice seaside @ the Black Sea (although I personally do not like the boom - lotsa people, new huge buildings all over.... not exactly the quiet/chilled vacation that I prefer).
I personally enjoy skiing much more. One of the newest ski resorts in Europe is in Bulgaria - Bansko. Great place, nice skiing infrastructure, great town - the best national-style pubs in Bulgaria are in Bansko.
