At the start of 2025, after 8 years of focusing on Cities across the nation that our hosts Robert & Mary Carey have personally visited, we altered the popular “Destination Spotlight” series of the show to focus on States, doing it alphabetically. That meant Alabama was first and it occurred on Jan 18th 2025, followed by Alaska on Feb 1st, Arizona on Feb 8th, Arkansas on Mar 1st, California on Mar 29th, Colorado on Apr 26th, Connecticut on May 10th, Delaware on May 31st, Florida on Jun 14th, Georgia on Jun 21st, Hawaii on Jul 12th, Idaho on Jul 26th, Illinois on Aug 9th, Indiana on Sept 6th, Iowa was Sept 20th, Kansas on Oct 18th, Kentucky on Oct 25th and Louisiana on Nov 1st, before we turned to the “M” named States with Maine happening on Nov 22nd and Maryland on Dec 6th. Then the calendar flipped to 2026 with The Careys beginning the year traveling for 25 days on the big “Let’s Go America! Tour” – Miami to Los Angeles, that had them transiting the Panama Canal as a way to supercharge our America 250 coverage, before they picked up with Massachusetts on Jan 31st 2026, Michigan on February 7th and that meant Minnesota was next, which happened on America’s #1 Travel Radio Show during the March 7th 2026 live national broadcast.
The “Land of 10,000 Lakes” is America’s 12th largest State, and it was admitted to the Union back in 1858. Lauren Bennett McGinty, who heads-up travel/tourism for Minnesota, joined Robert & Mary on-air to talk-up America’s 32nd State. Their discussion focused on some of The Careys personal travels to Minnesota as well as Lauren engaging on some of her personal preferences and the diversity of the State and its many offerings year-round to travelers.
