At a Number of Upcoming Talks, I Hope to Meet Readers of the Frommers.com Blog

Today is the last full day of my Puerto Rican idyll (where the winter temperature is usually 86 degrees), from which I fly back to New York on Friday. Two days later, on Sunday, I’ll be recounting the experience, and adding still more comments, at the opening of The Travel Show shared with my daughter, Pauline, from 12-2pm ET. You can hear that program on any of the 130 radio talk stations that now carry it around the country. or by going to www.wor710.com where it is streamed live. If you miss that time,  recording of that broadcast is carried on the site for several weeks and is presented without commercials! Just click "podcast" from the mainpage.

(With today’s merger of American Airlines and U.S. Air and the tragedy of the Carnival Triumph drifting through the Gulf of Mexico, we’ll have more to discuss than simply Puerto Rico.)

Then, a week later, I’ll be appearing at the Los Angeles Times Travel Show at the Los Angeles Convention Center, where I’ll be speaking from 11 a.m. to noon on Saturday, February 23 (and then signing books at the bookstore booth near the speaker’s stage). I’d very much appreciate meeting with California readers of this blog at that time.

Two weeks later, on Saturday March 9, I will again be speaking at 11 a.m. at the Washington, D.C. Travel and Adventure Show in the Washington, D.C. Convention Center, and hoping to meet readers afterwards, again at a bookstore booth near the convention stage.

If you can’t attend either of these events, you should know that you can always phone in questions or comments to The Travel Show, toll-free, at the 800 number that we announce on the show. And if you can’t do that, you can always e-mail us with questions or comments to Frommertravelshow@yahoo.com. Many of your e-mails will be discussed on the show, but if they aren’t, they are always answered in writing, by Pauline or myself, within two or three days after we receive them.

We hope to enjoy these contacts with you, and especially look forward to meeting you either at the LA or DC shows.
