I went to the AAA Travel Marketplace yesterday.  I went last year, and had a good time (the best thing I got out of it was the idea to refinance my car through them, ironically).  I enjoyed it, in addition to having some great freebies (including a chocolate fountain), they also had some booths that [...]
