I'm a newbie from Texas too. Congrats and welcome to the forum, there is lots of great info on here.

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I have a quick question, I haven't read all the newbie information and I can probably find the answer there. But what are the karma point things about?

Thanks for the great info. I haven't started putting my OOT bags together yet, but will definately use this site when I do.

This is a great post. I give my horses probiotics and I guess it just never really donned on me that it might be good for me to take them too. I do try to eat yogurt, but would this be enough or would you need to take more?

We are planning our wedding at Dreams Tulum, and went there for a site visit in January. To me the drive wasn't that bad, we took a taxi and it took about an hour. But like someone else said, you are so excited you don't really notice how long it takes to get there. To me it is definately worth the drive, it is kind of secluded from other places and has such a beautiful beach. It's close to Xel-Ha and the Tulum ruins so there are things to do, but far enough away that you feel more private. But like another poster said, its geared more towards family and not the clubbing crowd, so it just depends on what you want out of the trip. There is another Dreams opening up in Puerto Adventuras I think, so you might look into that if you want something closer to PDC or Cancun.

I really like the vases, and the napkin idea is cute too. I am doing similar colors, chocolate and slate blue, and I was having a hard time finding ribbons and bows to match the centerpiece. What I finally did was use a clear vase and fill it with colored glass that comes in just about any shade of blue you can imagine, and we are putting a submersible light at the bottom so it kind of glows. I found the colored glass and the lights on ebay pretty cheap. Or you could always use colored water, just a thought.

Hi Everyone, I'm new here. Well I've actually been reading this forum for awhile and just got my membership activated. There are so many good ideas on this site, I love it. My name is Amanda and I am getting married at Dreams Tulum on June 7,2008. I can't wait, but still have quite a bit of planning to do.
