OK, so it's not "travel" but if you're in the area on Sunday, Sept. 13 (I'll be traveling otherwize I would have been there with bells on) a bookstore in Ridgewood NJ has a book signing by Atronaut Buzz Aldrin, one of the first men to walk on the moon and winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I've been to these events and they're great (I have a picture with Chuck Norris, Roger Moore, etc.).
