karma: 3 |  Hello From Riu Ocho Rios!
Hi Everyone!
I just got online to send the wedding coordinator an email and I couldn't help myself, I had to come on here. We are having tons of fun but it's raining right now so I decided to hop on the computer in the sports bar ($9.00 per half hour). Anyways, I have so much information I want to remember to tell you girls I don't know where to start.
We arrived on Saturday at 10am. The flight was good. I highly recomend Air Jamaica especially first class. It was like starting our vacation early. We drank rum punch on the flight. The airport in Jamaica is pretty much a dump. There is no AC there are wires hanging from the ceiling and it's just weird. We had no problem getting through customs. We claimed $500.00 (which is the max) of wedding gifts and they did not look in our bags. The ride to the airport was smooth. We had a private driver from Lee's Taxi and tours which I also highly recomend. they gave us a cell phone free of charge to call them whenever we need anything throughout our stay. So we called and they are picking us up in a little bit to go check out Evita's and then we are heading to margaritaville.
I have to run, but for now I would just suggest making your appointment to meet with Chandlyn ahead of time because I haven't heard from her. I left a message for her at the desk and I just emailed her so hopefully I will meet with her soon.
Mo

So glad to here that you got there with no problems. I am sure you will find your WC, she might just be busy, I know mine was crazy busy when I got to my hotel. I would not worry too much.
Have a great time and I can't wait to hear all about it and see the pics.
