A couple weeks ago, I attended the Travel & Adventure show in Rosemont, IL. It's a convention filled with travel planners, speakers, destination companies and more.
I have attended the show for many years. A couple years ago, I attended a session by actor Andrew McCarthy, who was promoting his latest book. McCarthy is also an accomplished travel writer/author. That meeting led to an interview and my Talking Travel interview series on Global Traveler.
One of the regular attractions is the New Beginnings Ranch area. The business offers petting zoos and animal rides for such events. This year, Newton the camel was the animal. I missed my chance last year, but made sure to ride the beauty. Unfortunately, the photog failed to get a pic of me away from the gate, but I now have another goal for next year. Newton was very friendly, giving big face licks to those who wanted selfies (without paying for rides).
There was also a lot of other fun stuff. You can read more about it at Travel & Adventure Show on Global Traveler.
For more information, go to TravelShows.com. Say hello to Newton or his friends if you go.

Not many opportunities to ride on a camel ... very cool!
