Travel & Adventure
Sometimes you have to get out of town.
Putting Her Clients on a Wise Path
Synthesizing knowledge from three decades of diverse banking roles, Veronica Aguilera now thoroughly enjoys the freedom of being a wealth advisor.
Veronica is somewhat of a rarity, as a widely cited Barron’s study estimates that only 15-20 percent of wealth advisors are female. What attracted her to this role?
“I love that I get to know my clients pretty intimately,” Veronica related. Her goal is to help clients create guaranteed income streams ahead of retirement, so they don’t fall prey to stock market jitters.
Empowering … and Fun!
The Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course (FLG X) features five courses with increasingly challenging obstacles and zip lines, as well as a separate zip line course that’s billed as the largest in the western U.S. with more than 30 lines. Platforms reach heights of 65 feet and zip lines are as high as 70 feet in the ponderosa pine forest.
A Spicy Celebration
The Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village kicks off its festival season with a spicy Cinco de Mayo celebration on May 7, the Saturday closest to the 5.
A north-of-the-border setting couldn’t be any more perfect for the celebration than Tlaquepaque, creatively modeled after the Spanish Colonial artisan villages of Old Mexico. Colorful costumes, piñatas, and hand-cut paper banners vibe with the flowering vines covering the arts village.

Lighting Up the Holiday Season

The Hotel Experience, On Your Terms
There’s a saying that one size fits all. However, in the hotel business that can never be the case; hospitality professionals cater to the preferences of our guests. When you travel, you have your choice of brands from luxury to budget. You can choose the type of guest room that fits your needs (two double beds if you’re traveling with the family or one king-size bed for a couple, for example). If you thought there was only one way to check-in, think again. All of that is changing and the two Marriott-branded hotels in Prescott (SpringHill Suites and Residence Inn) are leading the way in deploying technology to give our guests more choice and control over their travel.
