Tonight's heart wrenching news ( July 18,2017) of the 9 family members of the Hector Garnica…read morefamily who horrifically perished being swept away by flash floods JOLTED me ..... for exactly a year ago the SAME FATE For my eldest daughter was THWARTED THANKS to the OUTSTANDING ADVISE and GUIDANCE from the EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE STAFF at the Phoenix Arizona office AND the Denver Office. Thank God we had AAA The many many years of old fashioned advice from my now 97-year-old former biochemist/ mountain climber father rang in my ears as my daughter and her girl friend drove away from San Diego with my dad's old Honda -- a gift. They had NEVER been out West ( born in Connecticut raised in Virginia and now Minneapolis). AND it was boiling hot also last July 2016-- they were driving Nevada Arizona Monument Valley to 4 corners to DENVER and finally home to minneapolis. I had driven cross country with my family in 1962 and been through all these statMy father's words after years of us living in Salt Lake City " ALWAYS keep your car tuned up... out there , all it takes is just a LITTLE rain, and you are driving out here and the road dips into a gully... you look up and a HUGE wall of water can be coming crashing towards you... so you hit the gas and GET OUT of that gully ASAP". So I took a crazy wild chance and called AAA Roadside assistance ( Phoenix). A warm gentleman answered and I told him how scared worried I was for my very green inexperienced daughter. I told him she was driving all the way through Monument Valley. Could he please tell me exactly where the gas stations were and other safety advice for these 2 young women. He gave me the locations distance but MOST IMPORTANT... he said, " tell her if it starts raining she must immediately stop... Monument Valley has terrible terrible flash floods and if she gets caught out there we will not be able to come out and save her.., it is very dangerous." I found out later long after she drove home that trip, that huge black storm clouds were behind them as they drove last July. THEY LISTENED to the ADVICE AAA GAVE US and drove 90 mph stopping only for essential gas NO SIGHTSEEING until they were out and safe on high ground in Utah across the border. AND THANK GOD I called the DENVER AAA office as well‼ the girls were planning on driving fast and diagonally to Denver through the middle of the state of Colorado . AAA DENVER SAID ," NO NO NO ‼‼‼... the roads through that area may turn into dirt roads and our flash floods at this time will COMPLETELY WASH OUT THESE ROADS... she needs to drive straight North in the far western area off the state all the way to the crowded under construction slower interstate to Denver... IT IS SAFER‼‼‼ I know tonight while she watched the news of the Hector Garnica family MASSIVE tragedy.... my daughter is quietly shaking... and saying ... " thank God Mom called AAA...." I only wish I had written this on Yelp earlier....

My mother went into cancel her insurance because rates went down across Colorado. Her insurance…read morehowever didn't. We received quotes from 6 different insurance companies & STATE FARM was $400.00 cheaper. They refused to cancel her insurance & told her that she couldn't cancel. Now we all know that she was being misinformed. She is a senior citizen & was almost taken advantage of by the horrible people in this office. They spoke to her with no respect & were extremely rude to her.

Don't do your scuba review here. I am PADI AOW certified with about 80 lifetime dives but had not…read morebeen in a year and went here for a review course before an international trip. I've had many review courses over the years and typically you suit up and get in the pool, practice buoyancy, mask clearing and buddy breathing. PADI requires only those three skills for the course and it's fun, but this instructor told me and the one other guy in the class at the outset he didn't believe in that and would test us on all 20 skills on their list and if we didn't like it we should leave now. After we'd paid. We spent the next 2.5 hours in the deep end of a 78 degree pool. It was like army basic training. And when I said I hadn't signed up to take all my gear off and put it back on while treading water he said I was whining. Go to Oceans First, much better.

Kristi and her business, Explore Your World Vacations, are absolutely fantastic. She is great at…read morewhat she does, and I highly recommend her for anyone needing a professional to plan a trip. Planning a honeymoon during COVID was not easy, but Kristi took the challenge head on and removed all the stress & worries completely away from us. We had to change plans last minute, and Kristi's recommendation for our honeymoon was absolutely magnificent. Very quickly, she pivoted our travel plans completely and had a brand new vacation ready for us within 1.5 months from leaving. We travelled to St. Lucia and stayed at Ladera Resort. It was the nicest place I've ever been. The resort and restaurant was incredible. Our room had a pool and didn't have a 4th wall, so we could enjoy the views of the Pitons from our bed! The quality of the service, food, etc. in a place that tropical is unmatched. It absolutely blew our expectations away. Kristi planned everything to the perfect detail and made it so easy for us. We had the most fantastic time. The views were breathtaking, the food was incredible, and our resort was perfect. Kristi even left us a gift of a picture frame with our brand new wedding pictures in our bed the first night. Kristi also planned an incredible sunset cruise, a perfect excursion (hike, waterfalls, volcanos, etc.), and a great wine & food pairing dinner! It was the best vacation we've ever been on. Kristi's hard work translated into the most relaxing, stunning, and memorable trip of our lives. We plan on coming back to Kristi for all of our big trips. She takes the stress out of planning and thinks through the intricate details that can be missed. We'll be back next summer to use her services for our 1-year anniversary!
