Turning the Page

It’s that time of year when the days are getting cooler and shorter but the activities and gatherings are only increasing. While a shift is in play in your daily lives, there too is a shift for us here at AAA Minneapolis. Live Play AAA (LPA) has been in publication since September 2013, which means we recently hit 10 years! Before that, our member publication, Time & Away magazine (some of you might still refer to the magazine as that) was in publication for 33 years.

The goal of LPA, as outlined in the Editor’s Letter of the inaugural issue, was to provide our members and readers with the right mix of “practical, personal, local, national and international content relevant to you. ”We have updated and evolved the magazine over the years in response to feedback from our readers, a global pandemic and the changing times. You have evolved with us over the last 10 years, and we now ask you to join us in the next step of the Live Play AAA journey as we transition to a digital format.

We will continue to provide the mix of content you’ve been enjoying over the last 43 years in the same place we’ve been including it for years: AAA.com/LivePlayAAA. And if you haven’t already, please be sure to sign up for our monthly LPA emails at AAA.com/Subscribe to get all the latest updates and information related to LPA and beyond.

When you have some downtime this holiday season, we have a packed winter issue for you to read through, including lust-worthy warm weather travel destinations such as St. Augustine, Florida, and the seven best ways to visit Costa Rica. We’ve also included our annual gift guide with some of the hottest new items and gift ideas from our travel stores to get those names crossed of your lists.

We hope that during this hectic holiday season, you are also able to slow down and enjoy this time with your families and friends. We sincerely appreciate having you along for the ride of the LPA journey thus far. This isn’t goodbye, it’s simply “Stay tuned, and see you online!”
