Two of our talented D Magazine interns, Taylor Walker and Meredith Stein, visited the Travel and Adventure Show at the Dallas Convention Center this morning. Â Below is their report (and a lovely little video presentation due to some technical difficulties, this won’t happen) to show the fun they had (and the fun that you could have there this weekend).
Alright, we get it. The Rangers own your Friday night. But assuming there’s no game 7 (which is the option we’re supporting), we’ve got an adventurous alternative to couch surfing to fill the remainder of your weekend.
Dallasites can head over to the Dallas Convention Center for the Travel & Adventure Show. In addition to speeches and travel tips from the likes of Arthur and Pauline Frommer (Frommer’s Travel Guides), guests can enjoy the sights and sounds of more than 30 cultural performances, which range from Bollywood to belly dancing, as they weave their way through a maze of more than 100 exhibitors, each representing a different travel destination. From Egypt to Alaska, these destination booths will be ready (and able) to offer you exclusive “show only” discounts on the vacations of a lifetime.
But the show isn’t all work and no play. Guests can also partake in rock climbing, ziplining, scuba diving, and our personal favorite, camel rides. And don’t worry about safety, we went ahead and tested them out for you! (Here’s where we’d show you their fantastic video. Perhaps the technical gods will take pity on us and let us show you the video Monday. Until then, happy weekend!)
