We have confirmed a great place for the morning after brunch.

 Ak'iin Beach Club is a great spot on Tulum Beach.  Brunch will be served at 12pm.  Post brunch all are welcome to lounge and continuing hanging out at the club for a day of probably much needed rest and relaxation.   I am taking this opportunity to call one of the beach beds! 

Just in time for the wedding invitations to arrive, you can now RSVP for the wedding here on the site.

If you haven't already, you'll need to create an account to RSVP. It's easy, just go here and enter your name, email and a password. Then click on the link in the email you receive.

Once you login with your new account, you'll see an "RSVP" link on the left side of the page. Click it to fill in your info. You can always go back and change your information later as well.

Just checked Orbitz! 

Airfare reduction on Delta with 1-stop leaving 7/3 JFK returning 7/7 for $222 totaling $339 with taxes and fees.

 This layover is only 30 minutes and no change of planes. 

I would still say keep waiting but it looks like prices are beginning to drop! :)

I can't believe how fast time is ticking away.

Here is our latest update:

I have been watching airfares like a hawk and just noticed a slight drop in airfares.

JetBlue from JFK dropped from about $580 two weeks ago to $525. 

Delta from JFK with 1 stop is now at $413.

I am hoping for further reductions as most of the flights we have taken to the Cancun area have never been more than $380 with taxes and fees.

Keep your fingers crossed and eyes open! :)

I have been hearing from some of you re: reservations. 

Zulum is holding a block of rooms for us (Park/Helmling wedding) but only until the end of March.

As far as airfare, the rates I have seen lately have been slightly high.  I would wait about 3-2 months before the big day before booking.  I have a feeling that rates might drop.

Airlines that fly to Mexico:

from NYC area: United, Delta (with stop), JetBlue, AA

Bored on Friday night and YouTube'd "Tulum."

Here are some photos from our first trip to Tulum.

I know that some of you have been looking at hotels for the wedding already.  Here is a link for the hotel info.

We took some pictures of the rooms from Los Lirios, La Nueva Vida and Ana y Jose from our last trip.  I will be posting them up shortly.

So we are getting started on our website... of course, originally I thought 1-2-3 easy, but it's turning out to be a lot more work that I thought.  However, I think it's going to be a great tool for the wedding.  Hopefully, our guests will use it prepare themselves for the trip.  I really hope that people will use the forums and check the blog regularly.  Ideally I would like the website to be a hub for people to get to know each other before the wedding.  So please post and post often! :)

Welcome to the site for Gary and Robin's wedding!  Target date: Memorial Day 2008.
