‘FROM WHERE I SIT’

2017 TRAVEL & ADVENTURE ANYONE

The dates,February 18-19, 2017.  It’s the Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center.  This year it’s billed as the world’s largest, much bigger and better than in past years with more destinations inviting you to come visit.  They will offer entertainment, demonstrations, seminars and even the opportunity to taste flavors from across the globe.  To catch your attention, many of the countries representatives are in local dress---fun photo ops.  Plus you can enjoy cultural performances from distant lands.  If you’re planning a trip to most anywhere in the world, tomorrow, this summer or even next year, this show is a must.  There are plenty of pamphlets to peruse and take with you and throughout your visit you’ll have the opportunity to pick-up a couple of new travel aids, pens, decks of cards and most important a bag to carry all of the exciting information you’ll obtain to aid in planning your next excursion be it by car, plane or ship.  There’s always lots of drawings and if years past is an example there probably will be an offer to spend a complimentary night at a hotel on Catalina.  Travel suggestions are everywhere and it’s the show you can gather information for destinations that you might not have ever considered.  There is always lots of guest speakers and the one I recommend you not miss is Andrew Zimmern.  He is always full of information and humorous, his program is worth your time.  This year’s show, returning to Los Angeles is the trip you must make before your next trip… at least …from where I sit.
