Here is what else we have been up to...

joey got some new toys for his studio. he's really happy!

hanging out with our good friends jason and todd.

we made some napkins. yes. napkins.

Some Important Stuff - Negril is booking up quickly!

Hi everyone! We have some important information we wanted to share to make your your travels pleasant! - Please read carefully.

Jessica, our wedding coordinator can help you with the following:

- Once your flight is booked, you can contact her, or in due time she will contact you to help with you arrangements from Montego Bay Airport to where you will be residing. We hope to get everyone's flight information to help coordinate people with one another.

- Jessica is not a travel planner. She can help you and recommend options, but all of that information can be found right here on this blog. If you do not have internet (or your reading this and you know someone doesn't have internet) Jessica can pay special care to those needs.

-If you have a specific questions about flights, or if hotels have rooms, etc please contact the vendor directly. If you have a wedding related question (how long are most people staying, I have specific dietary needs, how is this week going to go...) please contact Jessica.

The process will go something like this:

Yay! You decide to come!
Book Your flight to Montego Bay Airport
E mail or call Jessica with your flight time and accommodation information

Receive a package in the mail (Late February/Early March) from Joey and I requesting:

What meal you would like during the wedding reception
Asking if you would like to join in the activity day we plan for 5/26
Providing you with details about Negril as far as currency, transportation, etc
A map of our venue
Anything else that gets brought up we feel you may need. :)

********ACCOMMODATION INFORMATION*******

IF YOU RSVPed YES - BOOK YOUR ROOM IMMEDIATELY!

Please note something important. We have rented the entire Tensing Pen property May 24-27th. This may sound like there is room for a lot of people, but unfortunately there are only about 12 cottages. Currently we have filled these rooms with wedding party, wedding helpers, parents, etc. If you have any questions if you are in the room, please e mail or call Jessica and ask. IF anything opens up we will be MORE THAN HAPPY to pass on that info.

Also - TenSing Pen has no air condition, no wi-fi access and no TV


If you are not staying at TenSing Pen:

It has been brought to my attention that rooms in the West End of Negril, Jamaica are filling up FAST!

Currently:

Sandles is booked the week of our wedding
Tensing Pen is booked from the 24-27th (I believe the week before and after as well)
