.....just a few hours to go..London Wine Fair 2010

Continuing from our blog last week, we are now down from days to hours, with London Wine Fair starting in a little over 12 hours time. I arrived here in London yesterday and its been quite a pleasant day down here at the docks where the ExCel Exhibition Centre is located. It's also been quite hectic inside the centre with a hundred plus exhibitors, wine experts and presenters getting set up for the first day of the show, tomorrow morning.

Some of the events and tastings which are planned are particularly exciting and some of the highlights I will be hoping to be able to attend (provided they do not overlap) include the:

• Austrian Wine Seminar
• Italian Tutored Tasting Theatre
• Domaine Chandon de Briailles stand
• Bezios Family stand

Over the years I have to know many of the wines and exhibitors and it will be great to meet old friends tomorrow and over the coming days at London Wine Fair. Hope to see you there.

One week to go...London Wine Fair 2010

It's May 2010 already and that means it is time yet again for the annual London Wine Fair and all of the tastings, side shows and exhibits which are part of the show. One of many people's favourite exhibitions to attend and a fun event for exhibitors themselves to be a part of, this 3 day event for 2010 runs from the 18th May through to 20th May.

The show has now established its base as the ExCel Exhibition Centre in London and the highlights of the show are too many to mention. One aspect of the show which many visitors seem especially to enjoy though are the Masterclasses and with 14 classes this year the subjects will include:

• Wines of India
• Chateau Musar (Tastings from 4 decades)
• Introduction to Croatian wines

Other aspects of the fair which you can expect at this years event will include the chance to sample more than one hundred wines, a conference with a number of key speakers and a large number of exhibitors. If you want to buy wines, wine accessories, wine holidays or just sample new wines then this is a great show. Doors open at 930am on Tuesday 18th May and more information is available via London Wine Fair online.

Exhibitions in Exotic Locations: Hawaii (Part 1)

Finding oneself in an exotic location and as part of work can be a great way to see the world sometimes. It is not always ideal in that it is not the same as being on holiday and time to see the place itself really can be limited. Having said that though, not everyone gets to see places such as Fiji, Hawaii, Paris, Cape Town and Osaka. So to start off the 'Exhibitions in Exotic Locations' series, a look at Hawaii.

There are three main exhibition venues in Hawaii on the island of Honolulu with one a venue designed for exhibitions and conferences and two which are hotels and which often hold exhibitions. The Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel and the Hilton Hawaiian Village are used for shows such as the 'International Conference on Arts & Humanities' but it is the Hawaii Convention Center which is the most specific venue. Located in the business area of Honolulu and holding shows such as the 'World Class Wedding Expo' and the 'Build and Buy Green Conference and Expo' the main convention center is perfect for facilitating main shows.

If you are travelling from Europe, the trip to Hawaii can be quite a lengthy and exhausting one. San Fransisco, L.A. or Las Vegas are good choices for stop overs if you want to break the trip up. Once in Hawaii there are plenty of luxurious hotels and several well known chains near to the Hawaii Convention Center. For booking hotels in Hawaii a site such as expedia.co.uk or activehotels.com can be a good way to choose, with reviews and detailed information on each hotel.
