I don't want anyone to get sick. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
LOL...anyone see the Sex and the City movie? Poor Charlotte...

I went to Mexico years ago (I was 12). We stayed in Cancun. Unfortunately, everyone in my family other than me got the Montezuma's Revenge...but honestly, I think it had more to do with handling the money than drinking the water.

To be safe...just drink alcohol instead!! elefant.gif

The best part about Charlotte getting sick was that she'd stayed away from everything and was the only one to get it!

A lot of people tend to get sick b/c they over indulge b/c it's AI....just keep everything in moderation and stay hydrate (with bottled water, just check the seal!)

Mexicans don't drink tap water like Canadians and Americans. All the resorts in Mexico offer bottled water, and filtered water. I went to Mexico almost every year, and never got sick because of the water.

Most of the people who got sick because they were dehydrated, stayed under the sun too long and drank too much alchool (yes alchool dehydrates), and not enough of water. Muscle cramps, nausea, vomiting and abdo pain are signs of dehydration.

Bring a bottle with you, refill it at the bar. I usually drink 1 glass of water with 1 glass of drink when I am grilling on the beach.

Your dress is beautiful!

For the bride who was worried about the water - just drink bottled water and dont have ice cubes in your drink. Most of mainland Europe dont drink their own water so its something that those of us from the UK always do when we are away - dont touch the foriegn water - lol!. I think the over indulging on food and alcohol is probably they people get an upset belly - i have been twice before and been fine.

Mexbride- thanks for tip on that shoe website. Definitely going to keep that in mind for my BM's shoes. And pretty fabulous that you're rocking Louboutins!

 

I totally hit the jackpot and finally found the shoes on Monday. Just snapped a few quick pics with my iphone. (Sorry about the photo quality)

Found them at Nordstrom Rack in the designer section for a cool $109!! In the photo they almost look a very pale light blue, but they're actually silver.

 

It was a total Jerry Seinfeld marble rye moment. I spotted the only pair from down the aisle and all but pryed them out of this woman's hands. OK I'm embellishing, but I did almost knock someone over.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
