   After resignation, Musharraf went for an expected pilgrimage to Mecca. It was thought he might also continue his travelling on a lucrative speaking tour through Middle East, Europe and United States. Chicago-based Embark LLC was one of the international public-relations firms trying to land Musharraf as a highly paid keynote speaker. According to Embark President David B. Wheeler, the speaking fee for Musharraf would be in the $150,000–200,000 range for a day plus jet and other V.I.P. arrangements on the ground.Musharraf disclosed that he planned to jump back into full time politics but not until he had moved into his newly constructed house in Chak Shahzad in Rawalpindi/Islamabad as he did not want to misuse the army house for political purposes.His speech at the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in January 2009 marked his first U.S. appearance since he left office in 2008, as he was embarking on an international speaking tour. The former president pleaded for understanding in his country's fight against terrorism, in a region deemed central to the outcome of that battle.
