Where else can you find a veiled chameleon, a skunk, a woman standing on her head and information about places where you'd like to travel? At the L.A. Times Travel Show, of course. The consumer show opens to the public at 10 a.m. Saturday -- for information, go to the Travel Show website -- but on Friday, exhibitors completed their preparation for the 15th annual event. Here are some early scenes from the L.A. Convention Center. The show continues on Sunday.
