Once again, the Washington Convention Center hosted the Progressive International Motorcycle Shows visit to Washington, D.C. The show entrance, between 9th and 7th streets is just north of K Street, on Mount Vernon Place. "The important to budget travel is to approach onward. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the fact of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our thoughts. Organizing and spending our travel budget properly is a concern for most families. Lowering consuming and prices, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding protecting money while journeying is simple: Even if your personal finances is really small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel charge!..". Public parking in the area ranges between $10 and $20, and varies from lot to lot, and from day to day. The Washington Metro yellow line "Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center" stop is just north east of the front entrace.
Entering the convention center lobby, clear signage points the way up the stairs to the show, and into the welcoming arms of Flo. Unmarred by Friday foot-traffic, the "Progressive lady" welcomes visitors to the show floor, and just to the right, the Progressive exhibit area.
Further into the vast space, "The Hub" is located on the left, and features a variety of guest presenters:
