Traveling around the world at the Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show at the LA Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles. See it at: https://youtu.be/08K8omCAzj4

Lex and I walked through 7 continents including Antarctica.  We also skydived over the Colorado River, rode on a gentle camel, and were mesmerized by two South Korean characters who beckoned us to the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics Games.
We did all of this in only one day at the Los Angeles Travel and Adventure Show which took place at the LA Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles show (the show travels all across the United States) took place on the weekend of February 18 and 19.  We got complimentary tickets through Goldstar and had to pay for the service charge of only $4 each.  Parking is quite expensive in downtown Los Angeles but you can take the Metro as there is a stop right nearby.
The exhibition hall is so massive and colorful that we had a difficult time figuring out where to start.  Since Lex and I are planning to make a road trip later this year, we opted for North America first.  We visited the National Park exhibits and sampled some watermelon with goat cheese and balsamic vinaigrette from Arizona.  There was rock climbing and Lex tried the VR skydiving experience.  The exhibitors gladly handed out a bunch of pamphlets and a ton of valuable road maps.
There was a Global Stage that had wonderful Hawaiian and Tahitian dancers.  The dancers were graceful and we enjoyed it very much.
Asia was a big presence with South Korea hosting the Winter Olympic Games next year.  Such exotic places such as Nepal, Bhutan, and Uzbekistan were represented.  I loved the colorful costumes of Taiwan and the cherry blossoms of Japan.  China was also represented with its terracotta warrior statutes of Xi’an. 
Lex and I took a little break when we rode on a camel with a bumpy back.  It was a surprisingly gentle ride.
Before we left, we visited Great Britain, Ireland, Armenia, South Africa, India, Colombia (their coffee was delicious!), Jamaica and of course, Mexico.  There were so many more left to visit but we were exhausted and had to go home.  Perhaps next year!
It was a wonderful experience to attend this travel show but it was important to meet friendly people from all over the world who want visitors to come and enjoy their country.
