AAA Minneapolis

It’s the unofficial start of summer and maybe you’re celebrating by having a few cocktails – but maybe you’re celebrating without them!  Three local bartenders go head to head to in our Zero Proof Mix-Off sponsored by AAA.

We’ve all seen it.  The sign telling you that your lane will be ending and you need to merge over.  It’s called the zipper merge and the question is, when do you do it?  Do you move over right away or do you wait until the last possible minute?

Mother Nature has shown us that spring seems to have escaped us this year.  However, you can still escape the April snow, slush and cold!  Late spring travelers are finding bargains to the top-warm weather (no snow!) destinations.  And all are under $1,000 per person!  Here are three early May best picks from AAA Minneapolis’ travel expert, Wendy Weigel.

It’s never any fun going through the airport security lines, with all the rules and regulations that you have to follow.  While we all know it’s important, it sure takes the fun out of traveling.  Well, there are some changes coming to your safety in the skies!  Louise Kurzeka from AAA Travel Store shows us some products that are a “must”. 

Spring break is upon us and according to our travel expert from AAA, Wendy Weigel, sun and sand destinations booked up early this year.  However, if you are still planning your family’s getaway, here are three ideas worth considering.

Packing for a trip isn’t always the easiest thing to accomplish.  Knowing what to bring is one thing but inevitably over packing is a real possibility!  Professional Organizer from AAA Travel Store, Louise Kurzeka, has ways to get organized for your next trip!

If you’ve got all your shopping done, and the bank account looks a little empty, AAA wants to help you be able to get out for date night with some discounts.  Ashley Kropp from AAA explains some of the discounts you can get with your AAA card.

With winter air travel comes the greater possibility of delays due to weather, whether you are close to the storm or not.  Don't get caught out in the cold. Take some time beforehand and get prepared with a well stocked carry-on bag.  Louise Kurzeka from AAA Travel Stores helps you be prepared for those travel delays.  

Emily is getting ready to take a trip and she wants you to join her on a six day tour of wine country!  AAA Travel Expert, Wendy Weigel, is here to tell you all about the tour they have put together.

If you are taking a trip this holiday season, you are probably aware that bringing only your carry-on on the plane can save a lot of time.  But what if you are going for two weeks?

Being a good holiday party host includes offering non-alcoholic options for your guests.  TGI Friday’s World Champion Flair Bartender, Brian Zachau, Jesse Held, a bartender at Eat Street Social, and Jeff Rogers, a bartender at Café Maude go head to head in our Zero-Proof Mix-off – sponsored by AAA.

Emily shared her adventures aboard the Disney Wonder in Alaska and Wendy Weigel from AAA Minneapolis offered Disney discounts for AAA members.

We asked you to send us your reason why you should win the Second Honeymoon trip to Italy.  We received a lot of entries and one of them was chosen.  Emily surprises the winners at their home!

Emily has been sharing her adventures in Alaska the she has been experiencing while on her Alaskan Cruise.  But, she found that you don’t really even have to leave the ship if you don’t want to.  On the Disney Wonder, there is plenty of entertainment right on board.

Last week Emily was on an Alaskan cruise aboard the Disney Wonder and we’ve been getting a peak at all the adventures she has had.

Emily spent last week aboard the Disney Wonder cruise ship in Alaska.  Her second stop was in the capitol city of Juneau.  Getting there can be tricky and the only way in is by boat or plane.  But she thought it was well worth the effort!

Alaska is one of the most popular cruise destinations for Minnesotans.  Emily is onboard the Disney Wonder Cruise Ship exploring Alaska herself!  She shows us what she’s up to.

Last year we, along with AAA and Trafalgar, gave away a second honeymoon trip to Italy to Emily and Andrew Gilbertson from Minneapolis.  The couple was so deserving and completely won our hearts with their story.

John, Elizabeth, and Emily were out and about this morning already and it wasn’t at the fair.  Rusty had a little horse experience today, and big news at Target Field!  Plus, tomorrow is Senior Day at the fair and AAA has an AAA Senior Driver Expo to check out.

The fair is one of the places where a fanny pack fits right in.  However, we noticed that some of them that we have seen are in pretty bad shape.  Louise Kurzeka from the AAA Travel Store steps in and gives some folks a Fanny Pack Makeover!
