Catch the Travel and Adventure Show for tips and ideas

The Chicago show is a good chance to find out more about distant places such as African Safaris or European explorations or closer-to home towns and resorts such as Traverse City and Crystal Mountain about six hours north of Chicago.

You can still catch representatives from hundreds of destinations, exotic tastes, travel speakers and fund to-do activities at the Chicago Travel and Adventure Show, today. The show continues this weekend at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center until 4 p.m., Jan. 18, 2015.

Indeed, afternoon is good.

Travel Channel Host Samantha Brown speaks Sunday at 1 p.m. and Travel Ambassador Angel Castellanos speaks at 3 p.m. on the Savvy Traveler stage.

In addition, the early risers will be leaving so parking space in the connecting garage across River Road might be easier to grab.
