Whether you’re yearning for a real trip this year or just want to take a fantasy one, the Seattle Travel Show will feed that wanderlust.

The 28th annual travelers expo, with more than 80 travel companies and 300 experts, takes place today and Sunday at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall.

Travelogues will entice you to explore Aruba, Scandinavia or just to take a cruise up British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast. Prizes of trips, hotel rooms and travel amenities will be given away hourly. The grand prize is an all-expenses-paid week for two in Maui.

The travel show takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $8 at the door for adults. Children 14 and under are admitted free.

The exhibition hall is at 305 Harrison St., Seattle. Go to www.seattletravelshow.com for more information about the exhibition.
