Were you with us at some of these shows? We reminisced about these shows and the past 25 years this past week  on a return trip to Gasthof Zur Gemutlichkeit in Minneapolis.

One of our most popular trips was visiting the Amish and eating in their homes in Littleton, Iowa.  We also enjoyed Czech dinners that were also in Iowa, which included a day tour of Winnebago motor coach company and a last stop at a farm home  where a couple lived in a five-story silo. These outings were the beginning of our many travels.

We started our mystery trips early on and they have remained very popular, with some years taking two motor coaches.

Our Tours have included extended destinations to Hawaii, Alaska both land and cruise, Ireland, Costa Rica, Italy, Germany, Austria, Rome, riverboat cruises and Branson, Mo.

We’ve made extended travels in many directions throughout our beautiful United States.  The motor coach traveling still seems to be popular because of the convenience.

When the Mall of America opened its doors in the Twin Cities, we had three buses on the same time and day. We joke about leaving someone, but actually most travelers know each other through the Mower County Senior Center and our monthly newsletter that lists our travel plans. A grandparents trip each year with grandparents and their grandchildren  is also a popular trip each year.

Offering gift certificates for our travels is very popular. Our motto is “We plan trips for the fun of it.” And that we will continue to do.

The June Newsletters are now available with complete information on other trips planned. Our trips all depart from the southwest corner of Wal-Mart.
