2025 has us showcasing State travel during our popular “Destination Spotlight” series of the show, with hosts Robert & Mary Carey doing it alphabetically.  Alabama occurred on Jan 18th, Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th, Arkansas on March 1st, California on March 29th, Colorado on April 26th, Connecticut on May 10th, Delaware on May 31st, Florida on June 14th, Georgia on June 21st, Hawaii on July 12th, Idaho on July 26th, Illinois on August 9th, Indiana on September 6th, Iowa was September 20th, Kansas happened on October 18th, then it was Kentucky on October 25th and Louisiana on November 1st.  Next up meant turning to the “M” States starting with Maine, and that’s exactly what happened on November 22nd.  Known as The Pine Street State as well as Vacationland, America’s 23rd State was admitted to the Union back in 1820.

During our live national broadcast of America’s #1 Travel Radio, hosts Robert & Mary Carey were joined by Maine’s Director of Tourism, Carolann Ouelette, for a lively discussion about her State.  As some listeners likely recall, the show was in Portland back in 2022 for a big “Let’s Go America! Tour” and you can find the detailed recap on that week long event and live remote broadcast archived under the “Let’s Go America! Tour” section of the website.  During the conversation Maine’s agriculture and lobster industry was highlighted, along with its beautiful coastline that’s the longest in the Continental U.S.!  Acadia National Park and others were featured along with a look ahead to what’s coming for America’s 250th Birthday celebration.
