Westminster, California

MOTELS —
     Here is a limited list of motels. The three listed below are all within 1/2 mile of the New Life building. There are literally hundreds of motels within a 20-minute driving distance of the New Life Plaza. I would recommend going online and doing a search for whatever your preference may be.

TRAVEL —
     It is highly recommended that if you are flying into the Los Angeles area to attend the Southern California classes, fly into John Wayne Airport or Long Beach Airport. They are very convenient, much simpler for boarding and picking up your luggage and will save you a lot of driving time, etc.

Pagosa Springs, Colorado

TRAVEL —
     Pagosa Springs is a beautiful rural alpine resort town. The elevation is 7,079. There are basically 3 ways to get to Pagosa. You can fly into Durango, CO which is 60 miles west of Pagosa. It is a little pricey because the only direct flights into Durango are from Phoenix, AZ., Denver, CO. and Dallas, TX. You can check with your travel agent or go online to try and find the best price.
     The second way is to fly into Albuquerque, NM and rent a car and drive to Pagosa from there. It is about a 4 hour drive. Take I-25 to Santa Fe. Take Exit 276 onto Loop 599 going north to Hwy. 84 North. There’s a tricky turn in Espanola. Just stay on 84 North to Chama, NM. In Chama, 84 takes a hard left turn to continue onto Pagosa.
     The third way is to drive. If you are driving from the north (Denver direction), the quickest route to take is Hwy. 285 out of west Denver. It takes about 7 hours to get from Denver to Pagosa. If you are coming from the east or the west take Hwy. 160. If you are coming from California or Arizona it is best to take I-40 to NM Hwy. 491 North out of Gallup, NM. Hwy. 491 will take you into Farmington, NM where you will pick up Hwy. 550 which takes you to Durango, CO. Once there take Hwy. 160 East into Pagosa. It’s a little tricky in Farmington. We can send you more detailed information on this route if you are coming from that direction.
     Below is a list of recommended places to stay. In most cases you can get AAA or AARP discounts. If you make reservations ahead of time, you can get better prices. Summer rates will be in effect. It is also recommended that you make reservations ASAP if you think you might or are planning to attend. You can always go online and check it out further if you prefer. We did spend some time checking all these places out and have picked the best, cleanest and in most cases the most reasonable places to stay:
