On Tuesday, May 8 at 7:30 a.m., we will take another trip to visit the newest home of the Minnesota Vikings. The US Bank Stadium is getting a lot of interest since its opening.  We found walking in this large facility was much easier than we had expected with the escalators and elevators. The only other touring groups were on the other side of the field for a “real look,” plus a chance to walk on the playing field without the chance of catching a football.

The afternoon of this trip is a fun experience as we “Fly over America” at the Mall of America. This simulating realistic ride had us crossing the country with awesome views, through the winds, and mists as we cross Niagara Falls and more. It’s a great  family adventure also.

This trip will duplicate our first visit, along with the same pricing and departure time. Our plan is to return to Austin at 5:30 p.m. We do have some seats available with recent cancellations. Call us at the travel numbers;   507-438-3946 or 507-433-9391.

On Sunday, May 20, we travel to “The Czech Fest” in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This annual celebration will include special music, dancing, a traditional Czech meal (with kolaches) and tours. A 19th century house plus much history, and a gift shop of unique Czech gifts and items. We do have just a few openings currently.  We will depart at 7 a.m. from the Wal-Mart parking lot and return at 7 p.m.

On Wednesday, June 6, we travel to the Botanical Gardens and dinner show at the Daytrippers unique theater. We will take in the hilarious production of “Sisters of Perpetual Sewing” and watch as they take on another fundraising project. A themed meal will be served prior to the show. This fee is due by May 17. Departure time is 8 a.m. and return time is 6 p.m.

Just as a Reminder: From 2-3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23, we’ll have a travel  show with our travel representative to talk about the “Four Islands in Hawaii,12 Days” trip planned for next year, and “Best of Scandinavia 10 day Tour,” also for next year.  At 3:30 p.m. we will host the travelers signed up for the Danube trip in September.

This will be held at the Mower County Senior Center.
