The Colorado Attorney General just passed a price gouging law during coronavirus. There is a website to report it on his page. Good luck and beautiful video on the river!
Jody's Journey I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review! It's crappy what this guy is doing to people and totally illegal. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting Jody's Journey. 😊😊🙏 Hope you're doing well!

Story Chasing I was just thinking the same thing, that he needed to be reported to the attorney general in that state. This happens in Florida during hurricane season when certain businesses do questionable things. They get reported to the Attorney General
Leaving Colorado is always so hard for me to do, I’m a native removed 😞 This series has bought me so much joy! I wish you could hear my narrative as I watch. Thank you so much for bringing me home to some of my favorite places. With the mountains burning down at present we’ve had to cancel our plans for returning this year 😢 You have made it easier to take disappointment, again thank you! Stay safe and healthy in your travels. You are appreciated ⭐️
Margie Rodriguez I had such an amazing time. I'm so thrilled that you loved this video and my other CO videos and that it brought you some good memories. Seriously means a lot to me.

Please let me know other things you'd like to see on here as well Margie. 😊🙏🙏
Margie Rodriguez while I may not originally be from Colorado I do love that state! It is beautiful there! I visited back in June 2017. I also didn’t want to leave. It definitely hurts my heart to see beautiful places such as this being threatened with wildfires!😢

Thank you for the river rafting trip! Always wanted to do that! So much fun, I felt like I was on the boat!! 😅 Just discovered your videos in 2023!! Really enjoying them!
Kelly L I had such an amazing time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting on my videos. I really appreciate you taking the time and hope that you are really enjoying the content. Please let me know other things you'd like to see on here as well Kelly L. 😊🙏🙏 I'm still working on the UPS issue too.
The rafting looked so fun along with your other adventures! I used to wear contacts but can’t tolerate them anymore. I do miss them, but if I’m going to be outside I’ll be wearing my sunglasses anyway!
Sorry you got soaked by the postal store, before you were soaked by the river. The river-soaking looked like much more fun. Speaking of fun, thank you for sharing your family's vacation with all of us. Your green eyes looked so much better as the rain was falling on your RV.
David M 😀 nice one! Yes the river was much more fun than dealing with that dude. Yeah my eyes turn serious green in the direct light like that too or if I cry. Thanks so much for enjoying.
Look at you being adventurous again! I love white water rafting! My Dad took me every summer growing up. Looks like you had a great time with your family! Your niece & nephew are cute! Glad you got to spend some time with them! I’m sure they love their Aunt Amber!
The rafting looked like so much fun. I've never done it, but plan to. I absolutely LOVE the Alpine Coasters. Went on one in Pigeon Forge and I had a blast. UPS Store guy was a jerk! I hope he gets reprimanded. Love following your story! 🧡
Oh, and that's outrageous $30 per package. I have a UPS mailbox and I have things shipped to me all over when I'm traveling and I've never had anything but the $5 fee. Good for you for pushing back, his reasoning is totally flawed.
OMG that was a great video! The views were spectacular! It looks like such a beautiful area. I loved how you kept the camera rolling on your rafting and roller coaster adventures! It made me kind of feel like I was right there with ya! That guy at the UPS store was a massive jerk! What a horrible way to treat customers just to rip people off! But I must say that I was very impressed how you handled it.....kept your cool and remained professional. I loved how we got to hide in your purse and listen to the whole interaction go down! LOL! Looking forward to watching your next adventures. Happy and safe travels to you!
Colleen Daughenbaugh Hehe....you were hiding in my purse part of the time. lol! So glad you loved it the views and all. I really appreciate you watching and commenting Colleen. 🙏 I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB.

That UPS guy was appalling. I guess now you have to call the UPS store that you want things shipped to to confirm pricing. Great video! I felt like I was on that raft with you. We had a chance to do the alpine ride in Gatlinburg but I chickened out. Now wish I had just sucked it up. It looked fun.
That was so much fun! I enjoyed going on your adventure while sipping my morning coffee:) I'm so proud of you for taking on that UPS francise price gouger. I'm sure he has a long list of people he's gouged in the past and even after your experience. This guy may be facing a class action lawsuit if all the victims of this fiduciary criminal activity hold hands, but that's another chapter, level, and would probably take years to resolve. Just saying...Well done!
Ramona DeLaney Thank you. I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review!

Hi Amber: Fun video! While watching the white water rafting sequence, I found myself ducking to avoid the bigger splashing waves. Then I laughed at myself out loud. Oh well, I got a good chuckle out of it all. I know so many people like to travel places like the Caribbean, Hawaii, Europe, etc., but there's so much here in the U.S.A. to see. I've never met anyone who has been to Colorado that came back and said they hated their visit. Cheers and safe travels!
This IS price gauging! This is the same as a moving company keeping your items in the truck until you pay more $ saying “I’m the unloading guy, these are MY prices. Do you want your stuff or not?”. WHY hasn’t UPS addressed this? Or at the very LEAST BBB or... the law?
You knocked this one out of the park!! Looks like you filled your time up with family and had so much fun! Glad you spoke up about price gouging! Maybe we will get a glimpse of what’s in a pkg or two?! I enjoy your vids so much!🙌
Fun video to watch; glad you were able to meet up with your family (creating priceless memories). PLEASE let us know what happens with the UPS store issue; glad you captured the conversation on video so we could hear his "great customer service" and explanation. Things like this raise my blood pressure :-)

I hope you are staying safe with all the fires out west. I will be in Colorado and Utah for the next week and a half. Going rafting, 5 days and 4 nights, with an all women group down the Green River. I love rafting. This will be my 4th all women trip. I have been through a few class 5 rapids. Scary but so thrilling. Usually our trips are 3 and 4s. As for contacts. I think the dry air out west is not helping. Go get a wetting solution for contacts and use throughout the day. And I suggest not ever using Visine. Safe travels.

I can’t remember if it was near Salida or Canon city, in 2017,I went white water rafting for the first time in my life! It was so much fun! Would love to do it again one of these days. And I went on the Alpine coaster near Pigeon Forge this past June. That was a lot of fun too! That’s some awesome scenery there in Colorado!
Excellent video 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve done a similar river run in the same area before and cannot it recommend enough. Water coming in our raft was COLD 🥶. Probably not a better area to do summer and beat the heat in the USA than there. As gorgeous as that area is you might really like Highway 82 from Glenwood Springs thru Aspen to Independence Pass better. I’m sorry your sister had to go back to DFW as I’m currently there and it’s pretty miserable. Enjoy that area and keep up the good work. And Mr. Price Gouger...don’t waste another second on him.

Sweetie do not use visible if you wear contacts. Use Opcon-A drops and Blink gel tears. At least your eyes are the fastest body part to heal, usually overnight or a day or two depending on the severity of the injury. Remember too, driving even with shades the heat will dry your eyes. Use your drops often. Happy travels!
Oh my gosh. Haha! You sounded like me on the lift... haha. I need a hand holder too. Great video! So interested for a follow up as to what comes from the ups store situation. Great Video!!
For rosacea, my dermatologist recommended rubbing Afrin nasal spray on your red spots before you apply makeup.. She said the expensive prescription treatment’s main ingredient is basically Afrin. Mind you, it’s topical and not a permanent solution, but unfortunately there really isn’t a cure for rosacea. Afrin is to rosacea skin sorta like Visine is to red eyes. Hope that helps.
Thank you for standing up for your rights at that UPS Store! I used to be a UPS Store customer for 10 years, and when COVID hit I lost my job so couldn't pay the 97.00 every 3 months, and they gave me absolutely no leeway or grace period when it came time that my bill was due. I hope that you pursue that UPS Store for price gouging to the fullest extent! 💪🏽👍🏼
OMG - GOOD FOR YOU! Nail that sorry POS!! A lot of businesses have been using Covid19 as an excuse to behind the public over. Just my experience. I love this vlog - the pure delight in your giggles going down on the roller coaster thing - was fabulous!!

I used to work 18 hour days and could get through that okay with 30 day soft contacts. I didn't catch what you wear, daily, whatever... Anyhow, I did have to change out to my glasses immediately upon getting to home base and NEVER wear them while sleeping. Also, it take a week or so for your eyes to get used to having frisbees shoved into them. Enjoy your travels. Maybe we'll see you out there.
You’re early! What an adventure-filled time with your family. The toboggan looked super fun. I went rafting once and it was enjoyable when it was over and I wasn’t dead. The other day it got down to 79° and it felt cool hahahaha.
Pts Slm I had such an amazing time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting on my videos. I really appreciate you taking the time and hope that you are really enjoying the content. Please let me know other things you'd like to see on here as well Pts Slm. 😊🙏🙏
I'm very interested in those bifocal contacts since my glasses are bifocals. I'm sorry the doctor didn't tell you to gradually extend your time over a week or two for some when wearing them. Please don't use the eye drops you used and get moisture drops specifically for contacts. You'll need to reapply drops periodically throughout your day. They will make the contacts and your eyes feel better ❣btw, turn that shop owner in!!
Zena Begin Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right. It's getting better though and I left the contacts out for a couple of days until my eyes cleared and then left it in for a couple of ours and then took it out and gradually worked up to all day. So much better now! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and helping me with this! You can try them for free from you doctor and if it doesn't work you can go back. Also somebody told me that you can do one eye single vision for distance and the other eye for upclose and that your brain will work it out. Weird huh?

Sorry that you had to deal with that UPS store! We’re hoping the management will do something about their employees and the policies that guy invented. Also it was great to watch you having fun rafting! We can’t wait to try it too!

Oh my gosh! I love your adventures in this video! I rv travel to get to hiking destinations but will also look for great river rafting locations and you just gave me another one to put on my adventure bucket list! Thanks! Happy Trail ~Allie
This is one time I would encourage you to turn that guy in. Most of the time I let things go, but no not this time I would take the time to write the letter and follow it through for sure. Your right that is a beautiful place to park. That looks like so much fun, love river rafting. Thanks for sharing.

Wow scary but fun looking for sure yes Jordan was in control right! And also good job telling Jarrod at ups store or wherever how to kick rocks what a jerk I swear! Lol loving your content girl, even when you just hang out and show the van and cook or clean I love it been watching nonstop for days I want to trade places with you ❤️
Amber, have you given thought to using Amazon drop boxes? They're usually by grocery or drug stores. I have used them in the past. You can find them on Amazon shipping info
I have started having packages shipped to either CVS or Walgreens and it has been awesome. Walgreens is a FedEx shipping point and they accept FedEx packages. CVS is a UPS shipping point and they accept UPS packages. Neither one of them have charged anything for pickup
Love how you handle that Jared guy. Brave isn't the word, i want to call that civil courage. Also, i think when you know what you are talking about, it is easier to speak up. I hope the UPS will send him a little note.. That slide looked so fun, totally something i want to do. Thinking of going south to the Swiss Alps next summer and try the european biggest one! :) Also so nice to hear you giggle and having fun, you deserve it! Let us know what happens in the UPS gouging thing. Take care!
Elisabeth Englin Thank you. I always stand up for the little people who don't always seem to have a voice. Hence the reason I also became a financial crimes investigator.

What a very busy few days ... you need to take it easy and go for some nice hikes and reflect and re-fuel and then go forward with joy :) what a fun time you had. I'm sensing you are a little worn out?
Another great video 👍 Sorry about the dealings with the UPS store. I needed to use them for a month, but like the jerk, I mean owner said a 3 month minimum on box rentals. Personally I would have refused the shipment and told him to go ahead and ship them back. Then, if it was Fedex, depending on the service ( Express or Ground, they are different locations ) look up their address and head there to intercept. They won’t give out their local phone number so you have to physically show up at whatever hours are posted. Have them hold the packages which should be there the next day. They usually hold packages for several days. So the next time, providing you know how they are being shipped, have them delivered to the station that’s close to you and pick them up at no cost. Just send me the $90.🤑

I am enjoying the content, thank you for sharing! Absolute best video, I thought I was on the raft and the ride oooing and awing right along with you. Lol How about a zip line adventure through the trees! Have a great rest of your day!
Visine with contact s not a good mix cause the visine constricts the blood vessels in the eyes . I found out the hard way . I am not a doctor just from using visine with my contacts in. Plus break in time for new. Hope that helps.
Peter Powell Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right. It's getting better though and I left the contacts out for a couple of days until my eyes cleared and then left it in for a couple of ours and then took it out and gradually worked up to all day.

Never leave your new contacts in. You should leave them in 2 hours Max. Leave them out and then try them again for 15 minutes. Then take them out.. And put them back in for another 30 minutes. It'll get better. Visine is good if its the moisturizing kind... good luck!
glamperjan _ Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right.

So I am catching this video 2 years after it was posted and I'm wondering if there is an update somewhere about the UPS owner and his raising the prices? Thanks
The rafting looked like a blast. I checked the reviews for that UPS store, you're right, horrible reviews. I think there were more bad reviews than good. He needs his franchise pulled.

Wow. So so wrong to charge that kind of fee for packages. He runs a UPS store. Why would he want to discourage packages. Doesn’t make sense. Rafting is so fun! So glad you enjoyed it.

Recently several of the ups stores in summit and eagle county have consolidated under one owner who is awful. I left the Dillon location after 20 years. I hope he's arrested or fined
Yes...I want to know what happens with UPS franchise. We had one of our neighborhood UPS franchise store close because the owner/manager was apparently caught or videotaped using racist remarks/statements.

I thought price gouging was when a company took advantage of a crisis. Was that the only place to have packages shipped? If there were other options then this would be an example of pricing control to manage his supply and the services he’s providing to long-term customers. Definitely learned from this video that I shouldn’t assume about cost. I’ll call in the future if the price is not explicitly stated on the website. Buyer beware. 😕
I was screwed over by a UPS store in Las Vegas. They didn’t tell me upfront it would be $20. Afterwards I checked and other stores in LV would have been $5. Will be interesting to hear if you get any feedback about this. Safe journeys.

Hey Amber! First off, Jarod is a jerk. I don’t understand how he can legally “charge whatever he wants.” Absurd! I’ve also had the problem with redness but I had that issue with regular contacts. When I was younger, I could wear my contacts all day & even sleep in them. Now, seems I can’t wear them more than 8 hours. I typically take them out when I get off of work. I have also been prescribed medicated drops for the inflammation. I really wanted lasik eye surgery but because of my extremely dry eyes I’m not a candidate as dry eyes can be a side effect for some. 😩 Hang in there with the contacts. May take a little while to get used to. Looks like you had a blast with your family🙌🏽🙌🏽😊
Mystical Misfit I totally agree. He admitted to price gouging...well the definition of it...on the video. I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review! It's crappy what this guy is doing to people and totally illegal. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting Mystical Misfit. 😊😊🙏 ugh those contacts. It's better now. I started wearing them for a couple of hours a day and then slowly increased. It hurt!!!! I don't sleep in these either. I can't wait sometimes to get them out of my eyes on a windy day. Glad yours are okay now too.
Loved your rafting footage. I love white water rafting and have rafted in 7 countries. I really hope that UPS store gets penalized somehow. So many travelers have probably been through exactly what you have. Hopefully karma will get him. It was lovely that you were able to spend time with your family. I live very close to my family members but due to Covid we are not seeing each other in person. As always happy and safe travels 🚐🐶😋🇺🇸

Yeah and karma...well you know what they say.....
What type of contacts did you get? Wearing all day is too long when just starting wearing them. Heal your eyes first, but not visine-use contact re-wetting drops or call your eye Dr because he should have or the assistant should have given you a schedule, but covid has everyone a little out of sorts now days. Your eye will heal quickly if you do not wear the contacts again too soon then resume a schedule-4 hours a day is long enough then increase by 2 hours after you see how your eyes are doing after 4 hours for a week. Amber, you handled the UPS situation very well. If on your credit card, you could dispute through them couldn’t you?
Bev N Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right. It's getting better though and I left the contacts out for a couple of days until my eyes cleared and then left it in for a couple of ours and then took it out and gradually worked up to all day. So much better now! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and helping me with this! I did dispute the charge with my credit card company and turned him into Attorney General, BBB, UPS Corporate and filed complaints on Yelp and Google. Hopefully this guy will change his ways.
The eye doc should have told you to only wear your contacts 4-5 hours the first day and increase the time gradually. Sorry your eyes were painful! And that UPS store.... WOW! I hope the franchise does something about that guy. The rafting looked fun!!
B Smith Eyes are much better now and I did gradually start wearing them after that incident. I had such an amazing time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting on my videos.

Rocky Mountain Camperman Chris how was the lake? Did you do hiking or fishing? The smoke didn't effect me as I left that day, but smoke has rolled into where I'm at near West Yellowstone. UGH!
@@storychasing ya, it's over 130k acres now. I could smell it when I went into High Mountain Pies🤣 I hiked around the lake but nobody was catching anything, so I didn't bother.
Okay I had wondered when you said that. I was thinking somebody stole my pic and used it to advertise something. lol. It's all good! Thanks for letting me know.
Good to know about that store so I can avoid it. I left Colorado already for now anyway because of the big fire. I wanted to add - I have ups store mailbox in a different state and one of the benefits is to have stuff sent to another store for the $5. I hope this guy gets straightened out and has to refund your money.
Michelle Y Me too! How's the fire progressing? I haven't even seen the news about it yet. I'll keep you posted on this!

I'm not sure how it is now but I know when I was there this past week they had a large chunk of I-70 closed. It was kind of the area I was heading for to look for camping and my only other choice was to go the other way around which was going to add a few hours. I decided not to do it because who knew where the wind was going to blow the fire so I'll try Colorado again next year. I spent time there is a child visiting a lot and I really want to get some good camping in soon.

You can also turn them in to the state Attorney General, and file a complaint with the BBB. They will both investigate. And, of course, trash them in reviews.

The Colorado Attorney General just passed a price gouging law during coronavirus. There is a website to report it on his page. Good luck and beautiful video on the river!
Mary Dean oh sweet thank you. I'll take a look. Thank you so much. 😊
Yes, please let us know how the UPS price gouging is resolved. Outrageous.
Jody's Journey I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review! It's crappy what this guy is doing to people and totally illegal. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting Jody's Journey. 😊😊🙏 Hope you're doing well!

Wow, what an unprofessional business man charging those kind of rates. Let us know the result of reporting him.

Story Chasing I was just thinking the same thing, that he needed to be reported to the attorney general in that state. This happens in Florida during hurricane season when certain businesses do questionable things. They get reported to the Attorney General

Leaving Colorado is always so hard for me to do, I’m a native removed 😞 This series has bought me so much joy! I wish you could hear my narrative as I watch. Thank you so much for bringing me home to some of my favorite places. With the mountains burning down at present we’ve had to cancel our plans for returning this year 😢 You have made it easier to take disappointment, again thank you!

Margie Rodriguez while I may not originally be from Colorado I do love that state! It is beautiful there! I visited back in June 2017. I also didn’t want to leave. It definitely hurts my heart to see beautiful places such as this being threatened with wildfires!😢
You did a great job keeping in check with the UPS dude, I don’t know if I could have done the same.

Omg I am so glad that you have confronted him about Price gouging ! Yay!
Me too!!
Amber, it was so nice to hear you laughing and having so much fun! Good job on this video!
Thank you so much!! love those giggles with family.
Loved the water rafting and alpine slide I loved the joy in your voice.
Thank you for the river rafting trip! Always wanted to do that! So much fun, I felt like I was on the boat!! 😅
Just discovered your videos in 2023!! Really enjoying them!

The rafting looked so fun along with your other adventures! I used to wear contacts but can’t tolerate them anymore. I do miss them, but if I’m going to be outside I’ll be wearing my sunglasses anyway!
yeah it's too bright otherwise and bad for you eyes.
Sorry you got soaked by the postal store, before you were soaked by the river. The river-soaking looked like much more fun. Speaking of fun, thank you for sharing your family's vacation with all of us. Your green eyes looked so much better as the rain was falling on your RV.
David M 😀 nice one! Yes the river was much more fun than dealing with that dude. Yeah my eyes turn serious green in the direct light like that too or if I cry. Thanks so much for enjoying.
Look at you being adventurous again! I love white water rafting! My Dad took me every summer growing up. Looks like you had a great time with your family! Your niece & nephew are cute! Glad you got to spend some time with them! I’m sure they love their Aunt Amber!
The best! We had so much fun. I know...what's all this adventurous stuff I'm doing?
Story Chasing mountain biking & white water rafting. You’re making me very jealous! lol Great to see you enjoying life!
Your screaming and giggling made me smile 😊
It was contagious!
Love your videos!
Thank you for sharing, Amber 🙏
Lola Lee 😀 lol Thank you so much!
The rafting looked like so much fun. I've never done it, but plan to. I absolutely LOVE the Alpine Coasters. Went on one in Pigeon Forge and I had a blast.
UPS Store guy was a jerk! I hope he gets reprimanded.
Love following your story! 🧡
Lisa Gray 😀 You are the sweetest Lisa!!! Thank you 🙏 😊
What a great family time! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Oh, and that's outrageous $30 per package. I have a UPS mailbox and I have things shipped to me all over when I'm traveling and I've never had anything but the $5 fee. Good for you for pushing back, his reasoning is totally flawed.
Exploring RV Dude 😀 Yeah me either. Crazy man!
i love the way you live...beautiful video thanks for sharing
So nice of you Hassan. Thank you for watching too!
Oh my gosh, what a wonderful river ride trip, it was even exciting for me, so glad you can enjoy your life like this, it’s so wonderful .

OMG that was a great video! The views were spectacular! It looks like such a beautiful area. I loved how you kept the camera rolling on your rafting and roller coaster adventures! It made me kind of feel like I was right there with ya! That guy at the UPS store was a massive jerk! What a horrible way to treat customers just to rip people off! But I must say that I was very impressed how you handled it.....kept your cool and remained professional. I loved how we got to hide in your purse and listen to the whole interaction go down! LOL! Looking forward to watching your next adventures. Happy and safe travels to you!
Colleen Daughenbaugh Hehe....you were hiding in my purse part of the time. lol! So glad you loved it the views and all.

That UPS guy was appalling. I guess now you have to call the UPS store that you want things shipped to to confirm pricing. Great video! I felt like I was on that raft with you. We had a chance to do the alpine ride in Gatlinburg but I chickened out. Now wish I had just sucked it up. It looked fun.
😀
That was so much fun! I enjoyed going on your adventure while sipping my morning coffee:) I'm so proud of you for taking on that UPS francise price gouger. I'm sure he has a long list of people he's gouged in the past and even after your experience. This guy may be facing a class action lawsuit if all the victims of this fiduciary criminal activity hold hands, but that's another chapter, level, and would probably take years to resolve. Just saying...Well done!

Hi Amber: Fun video! While watching the white water rafting sequence, I found myself ducking to avoid the bigger splashing waves. Then I laughed at myself out loud. Oh well, I got a good chuckle out of it all.
I know so many people like to travel places like the Caribbean, Hawaii, Europe, etc., but there's so much here in the U.S.A. to see. I've never met anyone who has been to Colorado that came back and said they hated their visit.
Cheers and safe travels!
Kennedy C Thanks so much! ☺️ lol...that's funny about you ducking too! Glad you enjoyed Kennedy and thanks for watching!
This IS price gauging! This is the same as a moving company keeping your items in the truck until you pay more $ saying “I’m the unloading guy, these are MY prices. Do you want your stuff or not?”. WHY hasn’t UPS addressed this? Or at the very LEAST BBB or... the law?
You knocked this one out of the park!! Looks like you filled your time up with family and had so much fun! Glad you spoke up about price gouging! Maybe we will get a glimpse of what’s in a pkg or two?! I enjoy your vids so much!🙌
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching Mary!

I hope you are staying safe with all the fires out west. I will be in Colorado and Utah for the next week and a half. Going rafting, 5 days and 4 nights, with an all women group down the Green River. I love rafting. This will be my 4th all women trip. I have been through a few class 5 rapids. Scary but so thrilling. Usually our trips are 3 and 4s. As for contacts. I think the dry air out west is not helping. Go get a wetting solution for contacts and use throughout the day. And I suggest not ever using Visine. Safe travels.
OMG class 5..that would scare me too, but it sounds like it could be fun. Enjoy your trip and stay safe.
GLAD you had Quality time with your Family & you had a Blast!

@@storychasing I lived in Colo Springs for 30+ years; Went skiing up there hundreds of times (aka Earthbyski hahahaha)
I can’t remember if it was near Salida or Canon city, in 2017,I went white water rafting for the first time in my life! It was so much fun! Would love to do it again one of these days. And I went on the Alpine coaster near Pigeon Forge this past June. That was a lot of fun too! That’s some awesome scenery there in Colorado!
Eleanor Massaro Thanks so much! ☺️
Excellent video 👍🏻👍🏻 I’ve done a similar river run in the same area before and cannot it recommend enough. Water coming in our raft was COLD 🥶. Probably not a better area to do summer and beat the heat in the USA than there. As gorgeous as that area is you might really like Highway 82 from Glenwood Springs thru Aspen to Independence Pass better. I’m sorry your sister had to go back to DFW as I’m currently there and it’s pretty miserable. Enjoy that area and keep up the good work. And Mr. Price Gouger...don’t waste another second on him.

Sweetie do not use visible if you wear contacts. Use Opcon-A drops and Blink gel tears. At least your eyes are the fastest body part to heal, usually overnight or a day or two depending on the severity of the injury. Remember too, driving even with shades the heat will dry your eyes. Use your drops often. Happy travels!
Oh my gosh. Haha! You sounded like me on the lift... haha. I need a hand holder too. Great video! So interested for a follow up as to what comes from the ups store situation. Great Video!!
Coming soon! Thank you for watching Rachael. Yeah my nephew was so darn sweet.
For rosacea, my dermatologist recommended rubbing Afrin nasal spray on your red spots before you apply makeup.. She said the expensive prescription treatment’s main ingredient is basically Afrin. Mind you, it’s topical and not a permanent solution, but unfortunately there really isn’t a cure for rosacea. Afrin is to rosacea skin sorta like Visine is to red eyes. Hope that helps.
marilyn386 Thanks so much! ☺️ I'll have to look into that.
Thank you for standing up for your rights at that UPS Store! I used to be a UPS Store customer for 10 years, and when COVID hit I lost my job so couldn't pay the 97.00 every 3 months, and they gave me absolutely no leeway or grace period when it came time that my bill was due. I hope that you pursue that UPS Store for price gouging to the fullest extent! 💪🏽👍🏼
Sorry to hear that! That's just sad.
OMG - GOOD FOR YOU! Nail that sorry POS!! A lot of businesses have been using Covid19 as an excuse to behind the public over. Just my experience.
I love this vlog - the pure delight in your giggles going down on the roller coaster thing - was fabulous!!

@@storychasing i look forward to that update. 👊🏼👿👊🏼
I used to work 18 hour days and could get through that okay with 30 day soft contacts. I didn't catch what you wear, daily, whatever... Anyhow, I did have to change out to my glasses immediately upon getting to home base and NEVER wear them while sleeping. Also, it take a week or so for your eyes to get used to having frisbees shoved into them.
Enjoy your travels. Maybe we'll see you out there.
Jelly Bean Thanks so much! ☺️
That river rafting looks like so much fun!
Louise Santo Thanks so much! ☺️ It was a blast!
You’re early! What an adventure-filled time with your family. The toboggan looked super fun. I went rafting once and it was enjoyable when it was over and I wasn’t dead. The other day it got down to 79° and it felt cool hahahaha.
Tara Charney 😀 it was fun...and yes trying out a new time. hahaha. 79 must have felt amazing!

I'm very interested in those bifocal contacts since my glasses are bifocals. I'm sorry the doctor didn't tell you to gradually extend your time over a week or two for some when wearing them. Please don't use the eye drops you used and get moisture drops specifically for contacts. You'll need to reapply drops periodically throughout your day. They will make the contacts and your eyes feel better ❣btw, turn that shop owner in!!
Zena Begin Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right. It's getting better though and I left the contacts out for a couple of days until my eyes cleared and then left it in for a couple of ours and then took it out and gradually worked up to all day. So much better now! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and helping me with this! You can try them for free from you doctor and if it doesn't work you can go back. Also somebody told me that you can do one eye single vision for distance and the other eye for upclose and that your brain will work it out. Weird huh?
@@storychasing thank you. What brand are yours?

Amber, have you given thought to using Amazon drop boxes? They're usually by grocery or drug stores. I have used them in the past. You can find them on Amazon shipping info
Linda Treggett Thanks so much! ☺️ Yes I use those a lot but it was full in the area when I tried to order.
@@storychasing I've also have had the same problem. But there are several to choose from in my area. UPS also have drop boxes you can look into.
I have started having packages shipped to either CVS or Walgreens and it has been awesome. Walgreens is a FedEx shipping point and they accept FedEx packages. CVS is a UPS shipping point and they accept UPS packages. Neither one of them have charged anything for pickup
Lisa Adams Thanks so much! ☺️ Even with Amazon? you never know how they will ship the packages.
Love how you handle that Jared guy. Brave isn't the word, i want to call that civil courage. Also, i think when you know what you are talking about, it is easier to speak up. I hope the UPS will send him a little note.. That slide looked so fun, totally something i want to do. Thinking of going south to the Swiss Alps next summer and try the european biggest one! :) Also so nice to hear you giggle and having fun, you deserve it!

What a very busy few days ... you need to take it easy and go for some nice hikes and reflect and re-fuel and then go forward with joy :) what a fun time you had. I'm sensing you are a little worn out?
777 Cretbo 😀 I'm doing well actually. I had so much fun. I needed this with my family. Hiking is in order for sure. Take care.
Another great video 👍 Sorry about the dealings with the UPS store. I needed to use them for a month, but like the jerk, I mean owner said a 3 month minimum on box rentals. Personally I would have refused the shipment and told him to go ahead and ship them back. Then, if it was Fedex, depending on the service ( Express or Ground, they are different locations ) look up their address and head there to intercept. They won’t give out their local phone number so you have to physically show up at whatever hours are posted. Have them hold the packages which should be there the next day. They usually hold packages for several days. So the next time, providing you know how they are being shipped, have them delivered to the station that’s close to you and pick them up at no cost. Just send me the $90.🤑
G Keller Thanks so much! ☺️

Visine with contact s not a good mix cause the visine constricts the blood vessels in the eyes . I found out the hard way . I am not a doctor just from using visine with my contacts in. Plus break in time for new. Hope that helps.
Peter Powell Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right.

Never leave your new contacts in. You should leave them in 2 hours Max. Leave them out and then try them again for 15 minutes. Then take them out.. And put them back in for another 30 minutes. It'll get better. Visine is good if its the moisturizing kind... good luck!
glamperjan _ Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right.

When I wore contacts, there was a schedule of one hour increase daily at first week.
debbie sargent donovan 😀 I feel like I had remembered that from years ago, but forgot until my eyes turned red. Ugh...all better now though.
I thought price gouging was when a company took advantage of a crisis. Was that the only place to have packages shipped? If there were other options then this would be an example of pricing control to manage his supply and the services he’s providing to long-term customers. Definitely learned from this video that I shouldn’t assume about cost. I’ll call in the future if the price is not explicitly stated on the website. Buyer beware. 😕
I was screwed over by a UPS store in Las Vegas. They didn’t tell me upfront it would be $20. Afterwards I checked and other stores in LV would have been $5. Will be interesting to hear if you get any feedback about this. Safe journeys.

Hey Amber! First off, Jarod is a jerk. I don’t understand how he can legally “charge whatever he wants.” Absurd! I’ve also had the problem with redness but I had that issue with regular contacts. When I was younger, I could wear my contacts all day & even sleep in them. Now, seems I can’t wear them more than 8 hours. I typically take them out when I get off of work. I have also been prescribed medicated drops for the inflammation. I really wanted lasik eye surgery but because of my extremely dry eyes I’m not a candidate as dry eyes can be a side effect for some. 😩 Hang in there with the contacts. May take a little while to get used to. Looks like you had a blast with your family🙌🏽🙌🏽😊
Mystical Misfit I totally agree. He admitted to price gouging...well the definition of it...on the video. I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review! It's crappy what this guy is doing to people and totally illegal. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting Mystical Misfit. 😊😊🙏 ugh those contacts. It's better now. I started wearing them for a couple of hours a day and then slowly increased. It hurt!!!! I don't sleep in these either. I can't wait sometimes to get them out of my eyes on a windy day. Glad yours are okay now too.
Story Chasing Thank you!! And good on you for reporting him! I hope he is made to charge the standard $5 like everyone else
Loved your rafting footage. I love white water rafting and have rafted in 7 countries. I really hope that UPS store gets penalized somehow. So many travelers have probably been through exactly what you have. Hopefully karma will get him. It was lovely that you were able to spend time with your family. I live very close to my family members but due to Covid we are not seeing each other in person. As always happy and safe travels 🚐🐶😋🇺🇸

Yeah and karma...well you know what they say.....
Any update on the UPS story?
Where was Lilly? What do you do w Lilly when you will be busy all day outside of the van?
Metrogel for Rosacea works great in case your aren’t using it. Unfortunately, it is Rx.
KellysKorner K Thank you for the advice and recommendations! I'll keep that in mind for sure. 😊
What type of contacts did you get? Wearing all day is too long when just starting wearing them. Heal your eyes first, but not visine-use contact re-wetting drops or call your eye Dr because he should have or the assistant should have given you a schedule, but covid has everyone a little out of sorts now days. Your eye will heal quickly if you do not wear the contacts again too soon then resume a schedule-4 hours a day is long enough then increase by 2 hours after you see how your eyes are doing after 4 hours for a week.
Amber, you handled the UPS situation very well. If on your credit card, you could dispute through them couldn’t you?
Bev N Thank you for the tips on the contacts. yeah that just wasn't right. It's getting better though and I left the contacts out for a couple of days until my eyes cleared and then left it in for a couple of ours and then took it out and gradually worked up to all day. So much better now! Thanks so much for watching and commenting and helping me with this! I did dispute the charge with my credit card company and turned him into Attorney General, BBB, UPS Corporate and filed complaints on Yelp and Google. Hopefully this guy will change his ways.
The eye doc should have told you to only wear your contacts 4-5 hours the first day and increase the time gradually. Sorry your eyes were painful! And that UPS store.... WOW! I hope the franchise does something about that guy. The rafting looked fun!!
B Smith Eyes are much better now and I did gradually start wearing them after that incident. I had such an amazing time. Thank you and thanks for watching and commenting on my videos. I really appreciate you taking the time and hope that you are really enjoying the content. Please let me know other things you'd like to see on here as well B Smith. 😊🙏🙏
Amber. I just got back from a week at Turquoise lake. Brekenridge in 2 weeks. How was the smoke in Brekenridge from the Pine Creek fire
Rocky Mountain Camperman Chris how was the lake? Did you do hiking or fishing? The smoke didn't effect me as I left that day, but smoke has rolled into where I'm at near West Yellowstone. UGH!
@@storychasing ya, it's over 130k acres now. I could smell it when I went into High Mountain Pies🤣 I hiked around the lake but nobody was catching anything, so I didn't bother.
Yo girl just saw your face on an Ad! You go, girl!
You did? What ad? Can you send me a link?
Story Chasing I will see if I can find it again. It was for a class of some sort on a page for buying rv’s.
Yes if you can find it that would be cool. Thank you. Oh was it The Wayward Home dot com or SmallRVLifestyle dot com? They are affiliates of mine. Lol
Story Chasing smallrvlife!
Okay I had wondered when you said that. I was thinking somebody stole my pic and used it to advertise something. lol. It's all good! Thanks for letting me know.
Great workout
Yes it was! lol
Bust them Amber!!
Sean Stevenson I totally am! Turned him into CO attorney general, BBB, UPS Corporate.
Awesome video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Good to know about that store so I can avoid it. I left Colorado already for now anyway because of the big fire.
I wanted to add - I have ups store mailbox in a different state and one of the benefits is to have stuff sent to another store for the $5. I hope this guy gets straightened out and has to refund your money.
Michelle Y Me too! How's the fire progressing? I haven't even seen the news about it yet. I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review! It's crappy what this guy is doing to people and totally illegal. We'll see what happens. Thanks for watching and commenting Michelle Y. 😊😊🙏
I'm not sure how it is now but I know when I was there this past week they had a large chunk of I-70 closed. It was kind of the area I was heading for to look for camping and my only other choice was to go the other way around which was going to add a few hours. I decided not to do it because who knew where the wind was going to blow the fire so I'll try Colorado again next year. I spent time there is a child visiting a lot and I really want to get some good camping in soon.
Please do a follow-up on this to let us know what the outcome of the price-gouging is. Hope they have to refund your over-payment.
Randy Grace I'll keep you posted on this! So far I've filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Colorado, UPS Corporate, and BBB. I've also submitted a Yelp and Google review!

You can also turn them in to the state Attorney General, and file a complaint with the BBB. They will both investigate. And, of course, trash them in reviews.
