Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show

Los Angeles Times Travel & Adventure Show


This is my dream for next week.

I don't talk about it too much here, but travel shows are like porn to me, so then it follows that Rick Steves would be my Ron Jeremy.

I watch the show religiously, rent the DVD's at the library and have started to collect the Rick Steves travel books, and even frequently put in the promotional Rick Steves European Tour Experience DVD.

Rick will be at the LA Travel and Adventure show at the LA convention center next weekend and my heart is beating out of my chest just thinking about it.

If we have extra money next weekend this is going to be how Carl and I spend Valentine's Day weekend. I can't think of a better way to spend it.

I can just imagine walking the halls of the convention center picking up brochures for Globus, Cunard, Trafalgar, and entering every single free vacation giveaway that I stumble upon. But the highlight will of course be the chance to see Rick Steves live and in person with his brown bowl haircut and early 1990's glasses, the khaki pants and sensible shoes.

He'll of course come up to me and say, "Emily I read your blog all the time, would you please come on staff and add a sassy, girlie perspective to European travel?" and I'll say, " Rick, you had me at hello."
