I voted for the excursion because I think that's something you guys (gals) could all go do together. I also like the spa gift cert idea for the same reason.

Ok I just send Priscilla an email asking to meet w/her and for them to show us around during our stay. AHHHH I can't believe this is coming up so soon! After speaking with Martin we would feel soooo much more secure hiring an outside WC who will be our eyes and ears down there. I know a lot of people do it on their own (with their hotel WC) and that it is costly, but honestly that freaks me out because I am a bit of a control freak WOW this is all seeming a lot more real now! It's just about a year and a half til our wedding day. When it was almost 2 years away it was difficult to think about. And it's always weird telling people we are getting married in May of '09 when it's '07. Now that it's almost '08 that will be so much easier to tell people we're getting married "next year". OH, and I asked my first bridesmaid to join our wedding party the other day - I'm getting so excited!!!

Martin and I have really been going back and forth on this as well, Amy. I'm kind of freaking out right now because our site visit is all of a sudden nearly a month away and I haven't made ANY appointments at all!!!! Amy, have you spoken yet with the new WC at the Mayan? Do you know if Marco is already gone? Aye yi yi... so much to do before the site visit but it seems so surreal since our wedding is so far away! Do you girls think this is too early to do our site visit?! I just want to make sure we get our location booked and since we're looking at a holiday weekend that's why we booked our site visit so early but now I'm kind of reconsidering... Help please ladies!

Happy Birthday Kristen!

I too will be down in PV for December, so lets keep in touch. Would like to know your thoughts feedback on DD vs Priscilla. I've also sought the help of a friend who use to be the director of tourism in PV and she is sourcing a wedding planner who she said did Sarah Michelle Geller's wedding. mariama Mariama - how exciting, finally someone is planning a wedding as far out as mine! What dates are you going to PV in Dec and where will you be staying? We'll be there from the 16-20 staying at the Westin. It is really sneaking up on us - so far we haven't made any appointments!

Awe, that is so cute! You're gonna be a great daddy

Thanks for doing this Drea!

I used to get this quite a bit. However, since I have started up the exercise routine in this book it has almost completely gone away. I've been doing the exercises for 8 weeks now and I feel great all over! It really helps to get your body into alignment. Btw, most of the exercises (there are 5) are very similar to yoga moves. Here is the book: Amazon.com: Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth: Book 1: Books: Peter Kelder It is a wonderfully quick and easy read that has changed my outlook on life. I highly recommend it

Here's Martin:

That's awesome - I can't wait to see what you guys pull off!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by mora Well, basically here in MX the meeting with your girlfriends take place everyweek in the same day, for example Any gets together with her friends on Monday, so she have "lunesitos" and I get together on Thursdays so I have "juevesito"... Is an only girls night, you can do it at home or going out to have some drinks and dinner... mine started at 9:00 PM and everybody left at 1:00 AM... Oooh I get it, cool - sounds fun!

Quote: Originally Posted by Mrs.B 2008 i am so excited! here is my suggesstion - Drea - can you start a new thread and that is where the gift receiver can post a pic of their gift and who it was from? that would be cool to see what everyone gets! That's a great idea - easy way to say thank you too!

Ok, I have to ask - what are juevesitos y lunesitos

Awe, that is kinda cute but I understand that would be HARD to wait! Maybe you'll get a ring for Christmas...

I'm also down from VIP to Elite - just noticed this. I'd guess I've lost about 500-700 so far.

You guys look great. I also like the beach shots where you're walking away from the camera.

Christa you look amazing - I absolutely LOVE that cut and color on you. Go girl!

Woohoo, I bought my SS gift today - it was fun shopping! Now I just need to get a card and slip it in the mail... We're actually putting our XMas tree up already! LOL Definitely getting into the XMas spirit early this year. Maybe it was the 20 degree drop in temperature today - it's finally out of the 80's! "It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas..."

Quote: Originally Posted by BrittneyD I do think the clues will be fun, but won't the postmark be a huge clue on its own? lol, true. I agree with Drea - the clue idea sounds fun and all but I think I will just be lame and stick a card in with my gift because it's easier.

Quote: Originally Posted by Julesr Question, when should the gifts be sent out?

Also, do we tell them who we are or is it an annoymous gift? I think sooner is better than later, that way you know it's done and out of the way. Also I was thinking it would be nice if we could include personal notes/cards inside of the gifts. What do you guys think? Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Jen your siggy pic kicks ass!!!!

Sorry but what are hair shears? Are they fancy hair cutting instruments...?
