All the other guys in my crew are married, they will travel back to the states shortly; and me the only single guy will be staying in Europe for 9 days! I will have access to a company car, and I am allowed airfare to wherever I want to go. So anybody got any suggestions as to what would be a fun time around here? or should I just take a road trip to Croatia or something?

Impossible to give advice unless you are more specific. Very specific. What are you interested in? Reply with something like "ancient Hellenic monuments" or "art deco architecture", not just "culture." When are you going? July or November? Cities or nature? Mountains or coast? Typical (tacky?) Europe or places that are in Europe but look like they're on another planet? Scenic train travel or awesome road trips? Uninterrupted WiFi and potable tap water or apocalyptic, toxic, neglected hinterlands? As many miles as possible, or a compact itinerary centered around [location]? Price level? Language considerations? Collecting countries or exploring a small area in depth?
Oh, and if anyone offered me "airfare to wherever I want to go" in Europe I would totally ask for the most expensive ticket to a hard-to-reach airport served only by a few airlines. Longyearbyen, Greenland, the Azores, the furthest grass airstrip on the Shetlands or the Faroe Islands, Lampedusa, Hammerfest or some shit like that. Or be a smart ass and ask for a flight to Tahiti or Mayotte. ("It's a part of France and France is in Europe.")
