What is there to do in Arvada/ Westminster area in Colorado fun ?especially around 640pm????? something thats fun, anyone??????OH CHEAP OR FREE

The Apex center at 72nd and Alkire in Arvada 80004. New rec center. Indoor pool with big slides, kid pool, lap pool, 2 hot tubs. A climbing wall, ice rink, all that stuff. Its not too cheap, About $8 for adults, $5 for kids. Food there is regular price. I d have better suggestions, but its to cold to go outside!

Apex also has ice rinks as does Westminster at the theater/rec/shopping complex at 104th and Boulder-Denver Turnpike (hw 36) Arvada has turned the Old Town into quaint shops and a coffee house/restaurant or two.The Arvada Playhouse always has something going on. Other than that you are kinda out of luck for nightlife. Someone correct me if I m wrong.

Watch the snow melt

Places to stop on our way to Monterey? -

My sister and I are going on a little road trip up north to Monterey, Ca. We are from Ventura County which is about an hour and a half north of L.A. Would anyone be willing to give us some tips on places to stop and check out on our way?

That depends on which way you are planning to travel: inland on 5 or on the coast. If you are going on the coast, you can stop and see Solvang, Hearst Castle, Pinnacles National Monument, San Juan Baustista mission and more.

What is a Repatriation Bond? -

My friend is traveling to the US. On the second leg of his trip he was stopped at Amsterdam. They wanted him to buy a Repatriation Bond. What is this? Is this normal? Will he get the money back?

Who are they ? A repatriation bond is a document guaranteeing passage of an individual to a specified location upon completion of contract work or upon suspension of contract work for any reason. Repatriation bonds are guarantees given as inducements to workers who might otherwise be wary of leaving their own country with no assurances that they could return. The scenario you describe is not within the usual definition of a repatriation bond, which makes me very suspicious. To be honest, it sounds like a shakedown to me. I think that the money s gone.

I think there are a lot of details you have left out...It is a pre-payment of travel and health expenses to a third party escrow agent (financial institution) supposedly paid by the employer, hiring over sea workers, to guarantee at the end of an employment contract that the hired person has the funds to return somewhere, (and also that the accepting nation doesn t get stuck with health and travel expenses when they kick someone out of their country)...This should have been arranged and planned with the employer, long before showing up at the airport. This is more of an issue but not exlusive to in some ummm, transits between third world countries....Most big international companies are exempt from this, but it should have been explained to the employee in any event.......Interesting question !!!!!!
