Add Boston on February 23 to the list of personal appearances coming up for Pauline and myself
I inadvertantly omitted an important personal appearance in Boston on February 23, from the list I posted yesterday. Both Pauline and I will be appearing on that date at the Boston Globe Travel Show (www.bostonglobetravelshow.com), speaking twice: at noon and then again at 2pm. I hope that readers in the Boston area will be able to attend, and look forward to meeting you.

Both my daughter Pauline Frommer and I would like to meet you; here's a schedule of where we'll be appearing in January, February and March
January through March is travel show time in the U.S. Large convention centers are given over to several hundred booths staffed by tour operators and government tourist offices and piled high with brochures and video screens, and often enlivened by hula dancers, African drummers, western cowhands, zip lines, and water tanks for scuba diving -- get the picture? Amidst all the hoopla, lectures are delivered and seminars offered, and my guidebook-writing daughter Pauline and I have been invited to be speakers at nearly all of those shows and at other related events.
In cities scattered across the U.S., we speak for 40 minutes or so, take questions for 20 more minutes, then hang around for at least another hour talking with individuals who have attended the show. We'd love to meet with Frommers.com readers, and to bring that about, here's information on where we'll be appearing:
