Mark Whitesell, Costa Rica
“We had a weather delay leaving Raleigh, and with one call to AmFund, everything was pushed to the following day, including our housing, shuttles, and flights!”
Rating: 5 – “Trip greatly exceeded my expectations”
Favorite parts of trip: “The culture, accommodations, service, food, beaches, and not having a set schedule.”
For Mark, the most important part of the trip was: “the flexibility to travel within three years. I had booked one of my trips and had to have surgery and all I had to do was call AmFund and they moved it to the following year without any hesitation.”
