    We moved from California to Oahu the other day. I had no…read moreidea how to arrange the flight for my dog "Freddy". He has Addison's disease and it's hard for him to cope with stress, and I wanted to make sure that the transition would go smoothly. I found Happy Tails online and all the reviews were great so I've decided to contact them. Kim called me right back. She sounded very positive and helpful which made me feel very comfortable. Every time I sent her questions, she answered my right back. The day before we were flying out, there was a change with our flight and I was getting stressed out about it. I reached out to Kim and then she clarified that everything is OK. I also had a payment issue at the check. The lady told me to pay at the check in even I already paid to Happy Tails. I already I gave her the authorization document, but she was very demanding and I wasn't sure what was going on. I didn't want to waste my time so I paid, and contacted Kim right after. She told me that I didn't have to pay at the check in, and she would refund me from Happy Tails. I was able to pick up Freddy without any issues at Honolulu Airport, and Freddy came out just fine. I really don't think I could have done it by myself. I made a great decision to work with Happy Tails.

I reached out in late February to inquire and got a response fairly quickly. They had an A+ on BBB and I looked at reviews in addition to their website and some competitors. I went with Happy Tails from my interactions with them. I was extremely happy with the prep materials and contact ahead of the trip and regular contact during the cats' 30+ hour trip west. I thought the price was fair for 3 animals and the distance. I would use them again.

    Dec, 2025. When we first visit a new city, we often visit the official Visitor Center to pick up…read moremaps and to get insiders' recommendations about the best things about their city. In this case, we visited the Southern Arizona Heritage and Visitor Center in Tucson, which is open daily (except holidays) from 10-5 and offers free admission. The two staff members at the Center were very helpful. When we asked about the free tours that are offered daily at 11 am and 2 pm (that were mentioned on their website), we learned that they're usually only for groups and that they only cover the indoor exhibits. (See next paragraph). A volunteer offered to accompany us as we reviewed the exhibits, but we declined. The Center was a great starting place to discover all that southern Arizona, the Sonoran Desert, and the Sky Islands have to offer. The Center is modern, clean, and successfully highlights the attractions of the area. There are seven large, multi-paneled storytelling portals that showcase innovation, history, arts and culture, food, recreation, water, and nature, as well as a huge topographic map, a theater with rotating content, and an attractive gift shop. After we reviewed the exhibits and picked up some souvenirs in the gift shop, we ventured outside into the courtyard -- finding that the free "Music in the Courtyard" musicians were just starting. Different musicians play on Wednesdays and Fridays from 11 am - 1 pm. (See website for list of scheduled performers). We were fortunate to be entertained by Liz and Pete's Sparrows, natives of Tucson. The duo, Liz Cerepanya and Peter Dalton Ronstadt, refer to themselves as songsters of the Postmodern American West. With two voices, a guitar, and a Pennsylvania stompbox, they played Americana, soulful desert, and roots music. The courtyard is a beautiful setting but, in our opinion, wasn't conducive for interactions between the musicians and the audience. They were so tucked into a corner that we could hardly see them. What we heard though was excellent. We next took in the beauty of the exterior of the Pima County Historic Courthouse, which was built in 1929 and was in-service for 86 years. It obtained its "historic" designation from the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has been dubbed "the most outstanding Spanish Colonial Revival building in Arizona with its elegant blue-tiled dome recorded as its most prominent feature." We reflected and remembered at the January 8th Embrace Memorial. Nineteen people had been shot by a lone gunman as they gathered at a grocery store in NW Tucson in 2011, to speak Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords at an event designed for community engagement. Six persons were killed, and thirteen wounded. The Memorial is a tribute of remembrance and a tribute of hope. The film that shows in the VC theater also honors and remembers these victims. Our next activities, recommended by the VC, but taking us away from the VC were to: (1) walk "the Turquoise Trail" (Presidio Trail), which is a 2.5 mile self-guided walking loop through historic downtown Tucson, marked by a turquoise line painted, and sometimes peeling, line painted on the sidewalk, connecting over 20 historic sites like the Presidio Museum (starting/ending point), Hotel Congress, and the Pima County Courthouse. Printed maps are available at the VC and at museums for $2; there's also an app for $5. (2) to take the free Sun Link streetcar on its 3.9 mile route through five of Tucson's neighborhoods. Underground parking is easy at the El Presidio Parking Garage, at a minimum rate of $2 for 0-2 hours, increasing by $1 per hour up to a maximum of $8 (for 7+hours). Validated parking is available with a $20 purchase at the Visitor Center or with tickets from the Gem and Mine Museum. There are clean restrooms available.

There are panels and gorgeous images of the festivals, the food, the wildlife, what to do, and much more, there's a video playing, a loop gift shop, and staff are super friendly and helpful. They got me in the right direction to find some scorpion lollipops right around the corner! It will be a pleasure to bring out-of-towners here!
