Cruzer,
ace has aligned with safari for years...if my memory serves me correct, they even were out of the same office space. i may be wrong...but i feel that they have been ''owned'' together for a long time. It is NOT unusual for many brands to be owned by one individual or company. Not saying this is so....but a possiblitly. It is not uncommon in the islands or anywhere else for that matter. Also....different ownership doesn't necessarily mean different staff. ...and it sounds like the STAFF may be the same rude desk staff it was back then!!!!!!
