2011 NY Times Travel Show

I can't tell you how many people questioned my desire to attend the New York Times Travel Show. "Why go if you aren't a travel agent." " All the way to New York for just that?" When will my family/friends learn that Meredith does as Meredith please? So this blog post is dedicated to all the people who travel just b/c they want to. Press play to get an idea of what goes on at the show.




5 things I took away from the NYTTS:

  1. South Carolina was NOT represented. I may work to change this.
  2. Even though I'm not looking to gain profit, I need to create a brand when it pertains to my traveling b/c I never know where it may lead.
  3. Snobs exsist in the travel world too.
  4. I want to watch Eat.Pray.Love ( Done and loved it!)
  5. I've added Curacao to my Wanderlust Wanderlist.
Thanks for watching and reading.
Happy Travels.

::New York Times Travel Show::

....I missed it, AGAIN! Ever since becoming aware of its existence, I've been super geeked about going. This year it was last weekend, Feb. 26-28th at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. From what I've been hearing, it was awesome...but come on, 150 countries in one room, ready to magnetize you with anecdotes and adventures of their homeland, Calgon take me way! And don't forget meeting my favorite travel journalist.

::Side note:: I'd like to put in a personal request for Dhani Jones please.
Thank you!
I've already requested the presence of my crony. I know she'd enjoy a weekend in NYC. Since the days are all me, she can plan our evenings.


Hope to see you there.
Thanks for reading and Happy Travels,

Me♥
