Honeymoon!

Author: Colleen

We booked our honeymoon yesterday!  We’ll be going to Excellence Riviera Cancun in Riviera Maya, Mexico from May 1 – 8, 2011.  Check out the website here: http://www.excellence-resorts.com/all-inclusive-resorts/riviera-cancun-mexico/cancun-overview.htm

If anyone’s been there or has been to Riviera Maya, please let us know any tips or activities/sites to see when we’re there in the comments or by email at JayandColleen@gmail.com.  We would love to take a day to see some of the ruins, but don’t know where we’d go or how we’d go about it!

Mexico, here we come.

Airport info:

Anyone who is flying will probably want to fly into MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Islip, NY.  Southwest & US Airways fly into ISP.  All the major airlines fly into JFK or LaGuardia (LGA) (in Queens, NY).  JetBlue tends to have decent sales into JFK while US Airways and American Airlines usually have pretty inexpensive flights into LGA if you book early enough.  Southwest just opened up its schedule thru June 2011.

  • ISP is 20 minutes from my parents and about 30 minutes from the hotels we’re going to book.
  • JFK and LGA are a little bit over an hour away from my parents/the church and probably about an hour & twenty minutes away from the hotels.
  • Don’t bother to fly into Newark.  It’s in New Jersey and a pain in the butt to get to LI from it.  Plus, you’ll get hit with the tolls entering NY from NJ and those are expensive.

If you are flying into JFK or LGA the day of the wedding, please leave a lot of time!  There are always delays flying in & out of NY! Also, if it’s a really nice weekend, then there’s always a chance that you’ll run into traffic for people going out east or to the Hamptons.

Thanks!

200 Days Away!

Author: Colleen

As of October 11, 2010, we are 200 days away from our wedding day!  Hooray!

Things are moving along really well – we have a wedding dress, DJ, photographer, bridal party dresses, and limo done so far and are thisclose to finalizing with the hotels and ordering Save the Dates so stay tuned for the hotel info soon.  Also, Colleen had to special order a few different wedding rings to see what matched her engagement ring the best and those should be in any day now!

P.S. We have two stores down for the registry.  One more to go.
