I Hope to Meet a Great Many of Our Readers at the New York Times Travel Show This Weekend

In travel, the New York Times Travel Show ( www.nyttravelshow.com ) is among the most important events of the year. Numerous leading travel figures participate in no-holds-barred sessions discussing industry issues on the day (Friday) devoted to the travel trade. On the actual weeked, some 500 exhibitors display their programs at the Saturday and Sunday shows open to the public. And throughout the weekend, speeches are delivered on a wide range of topics.
 
My daughter and I will be among the presenters at the New York Times show this coming weekend (March 3 and 4). We will be speaking first at 11am on Saturday (an hour after the show opens) on Major Trends and Developments in Travel. We will be speaking again at 3pm on Saturday on Popular Destinations in Travel. (Pauline's presentation during that afternoon hour will be a slide show of some of her own most recent travels.)
 
We will be happy to talk with readers of this blog immediately following each presentation, when we will be signing books at a bookstore counter maintained near the auditorium where our speeches will be delivered. And we will be hanging around the show through much of the time between and after our two talks. We hope to meet you at that time, and would be grateful if you'd stop by and say hello.
