THE NEW YORK TIMES TRAVEL SHOW


I attended the New York Times Travel Show today at the Javits Center in NYC. A leading show for travel agents and other travel professionals, it is also open to the public this Saturday and Sunday Feb. 26 and 27th. The hours are 10 to 6 PM Saturday and 10 to 4 PM Sunday. Its like taking a walking tour of the world with seminars from some of the industry leaders like Rick Steves and Arthur and Pauline Frommer. Cultural performances and hands on projects for the kids round out the event. The cost is $15 per person and is free for anyone 18 and under.
