The Travel and Adventure Show that arrives in Southern California each year is one of our favorite events.
This year it is at the Los Angeles Convention Center and yesterday we attended the opening  festivities.
Whether as an actual traveler or just a dreamer interested in some far off location this Show is for you.
The mix of booths covers almost every outdoor activity and location around the globe. Whether to South Sea island or an adventure in Africa or India the information was readily available.
We were more interested in some places closer to home that required the family car rather than a jet plane for transport.
We tasted some Arizona wines and decided a trip to the vineyards in that state were a must.
Also close at hand we learned what Buellton, just a short jaunt up Interstate 101 from where we live has to offer in the way of wine tours.
Yes it was fun to learn about some of the wonderful cruises that are now available on European rivers or what one can do on some of Hawaii's outer islands.
We decided we did not need a ride on a camel  or a lesson on scuba diving but they were available.
Anyway we spent most of the day at the Show and loved every minute of it.
