Minneapolis Bed and Breakfasts - Reviews and Rates

After getting about as down to the wire as one can with a move, we managed to get everything stowed away at various relatives' houses and catch a ride, via the newlywed Kaluhzny's (I probably butchered the spelling--sorry) with plenty of time to spare to the Hubert H. Humphrey terminal of MSP.

As far as airports go, they managed to be con...

Our AMA Waterways cruise began in Minneapolis/St. Paul on Saturday April 18, 2009, at 7:30 PM on Northwest Airlines. The flight was non stop . We each had a window seat because the plane was full and could not get seats together. When we got to Amsterdam at 10:30 AM the next day, we cleared customs and then looked for the AMA Waterways represen...

The Flight This isn't our first trip as a family, but compared to recent trans-oceanic flights we were looking forward to the relative comfort of traveling within our timezone. On paper, this should be a breeze - a 2.5 hour trip to Atlanta...a short layover (but still time for a relaxing bite to eat and a cerveca)...capped off by imbibing in som...

Today was the first icky weather day I had while I was home.  Kia decided she needed a day at her house and I was welcome to go and run errands and meet people.  I think she needed the break from me!!! I had lunch with Jean Walker at the Cheesecake Factory with my standard avocado egg rolls.  Of course, I should have ordered my cheesecake first ...

FYI: This entry was written after my return from BsAs and is an introduction to the travel blog. For some strange reason, I decided that I wanted to document my trip to Buenos Aires. Maybe it is because I had never traveled to another country apart from North America...or maybe because I love the tango experience in more ways than I can ever exp...

It could be said I was never one to follow a crowd, it could also be said that I have never been a trend setter. That said my agenda for life has always seen me follow a path that has a hint of Barnett in it. I like to experience things my own way as echoed so vividly in the Byrds song 'Wasn't Born to Follow'. Portland was my latest destination ...

When Joe and Frannie plan a trip it is not just a vacation. There is always a greater purpose and adventure involved. In the spirit of all Americana that is large, small, and quirky, as well as our continued search for the perfect town, we recently head the Minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes to stretch the Joe and Frannie spirit that have been hibe...

Since we're travelling during the school break, we noted a number of families off to Disney World. There was a flight to Orlando from Minneapolis about the same time as ours departed to Houston.

Day 3: We left Chicago around 9am and headed North towards MN. Since we grew up for a while in Minneapolis we still have some friends and relatives in the area. Tonight, we are staying with family friends right outside of Minneapolis. So we arrived in time for dinner and were stuffed with food including our friend Dave Scherf’s famous bbq ...

I am so excited to go to DC this weekend. I thought I would post pictures from my last trip in December of the WW2 Memorial. I thought is was very well done, at the base of the Washington Monument as you walk towards the reflection pond.
