I haven't started my wedding dress search, but this one was reccomended to me, however it is in the city of orange. Mary Me Bridal & Formalwear &copy 2005 Version 3.0 I'm planning on making a this my first stop! Hey Amy, I went to Mary me Bridal in Orange when I first started looking....some of the staff are very nice. The only thing is they won't let you take pictures of you in the dress while trying on. That sucked. So I went somewhere else...hehehe... Hey if you need help looking at dresses while you're there Call me....I don't live far from orange. Andrea

hmmm I don't what I'm going to eat too...maybe pasta...Erik is driving home as we speak from San Diego and he might stop off for food on his way home, maybe fast food....i know bad ...or maybe a sandwich.... Hey I'm going to go to the gym tonight at 6;30 I can work it off then We should all exchange recipes.... Andrea

If you want a descriptions of my photos...do THE SLIDESHOW...IT EXPLAINS THE PICTURES. Yahoo! Photos - Amy s Scouting Trip MY REVIEW: I just went to PV for 3 short days...it was amazing. The first night I stayed downtown and I almost reconsidered my idea of a PV wedding. I had never been to PV until then. We stayed by restaurant row and it was fun of people partying and tons of fun restaurants and shops. The beach was nice but not what I thought it would be. For me...it wasn't where I invisioned my wedding. The next day we went to Dreams...then I knew I made the right decision to have it in PV. Dreams is a beautiful place for a wedding....very private AND secluded. We got there early for our appt. with Marilu and they wouldn't let us in. We took a walk about a block up the street and found a really cute restaurant to eat breakfast called La Playita Beach restaurant at Linda Mar hotel. It was good find...it has it's own private rocky beach...and the manager quoted us $95 pesos pp per hour to have a rehearsal dinner there including drinks. Fun idea if you are going to have your wedding at Dreams. PROS:private/SECLUDED beach ceremony/reception on the beach CON: you have to pay extra for non-guests..YOU HAVE TO LEAVE AT 11PM...Marilu might work with us though..she said she was going to see if my guests and I could hang out at the bar until 2am Then we went to Mayan...oh my goodness...this place took my breath way. The pictures on the internet don't do it justice. Marcos, the wedding planner there is really easy to work with and gets back to you really quickly. Marilu at Dreams tends to take a while. The Jetty (grass area) is where the wedding would be...I wasn't sure if I liked the idea...I really wanted to get married on the beach in the sand. I have reconsidered...the view from the Jetty is amazing...its like your in the water. PROS: private beach ceremony/reception perfect for small weddings...WE get to leave at 2am!!! CONS: I can't think of any. Lastly we went to the Westin. I think this place is beautiful too but better for a large wedding. I am only going to have around 40 people so we would only get 2 or 3 pergulas on the beach. PROS: beach sand ceremony/reception on beach under pergulas (really beautiful) CONS: Not as private for a small wedding...better for bigger weddings. So I made my decision on the Mayan...I am so excited the place is so trendy and the Mayan influence makes it a very unique hotel. I like how private it is for a small wedding...the other two aren't as private for smaller weddings. I also like the idea that we get to stay until 2am...also there is a fire pit in the outdoor reception area...I think that will be fun for the reception. We have also changed our wedding date from June until February of next year now. The weather there right now is perfect...summers can get really hot there. I am so excited...I'll be getting married in a year now...instand of year and half now. Goodness I have lots to do. As for restaurants...we haven't decided on a rehearsal dinner spot yet...to be honest we didn't eat a lot...we were too busy going to the hotels...we tended to just get a muffin or drink when needed. We mostly sampled appetizers and had a drink...so I don't know if I am the best to ask about how it tastes. I am not a big eater so it was hard for me to eat alot because we wanted to go to as many places as possible. I will say that all the appetizers we great at all the places except one place (El Dorado...but their dinners might be better??) As for beautiful views and great appetizers Las Palomas...El Palomar..El Felipe...La Playita...my photographer recommended the El Kliff but we didn't get time to go there. I wanted to try others but we ran out of time. I was going to do a full dinner but now I am considering doing appetizers only...it was so expensive for me at most of those places when you included drinks into the price...I only wanted to spend between 30-35 pp. I might just have my rehearsal dinner at the Mayan...Marcos said he could work something out. Or I might look into Barcelona Tapas...who had their reception there I wish I would have tried it. Well...I hope I was some help...you all have helped me so much...all your comments really helped guide me on my trip to PV. All the hotels there were amazing...it is really hard to choose one. One more word of advice...if you take a taxi from the airport...go over the bridge on the outside of the airport to get a taxi...those are the local taxi drivers and they won't charge you as much as the airport take drivers. We only paid 10 pesos from the airport to Old PV downtown....we stayed at Los Arcos Hotel. Also...if you can bring someone who speaks Spanish it can help you get better prices and advance. My friend that came with me was born in Mexico...she was like my planner...I got an excellent price for my wedding...I know it was all because of her. Everyone told me I wouldn't get my price without a planner...I stayed within my budget of less than $7000 for everything. Well thanks again for all your help...if you can think of any questions let me know. Amy Hi Amy... I just came back from PV last week and stayed at the Mayan in NV but went to the Mayan in PV...isn't it beautiful...My mom has a timeshare there. I think the people are nicer in the Mayan Palace than they are at the Grand Mayan Palace (both under the same owner). Loved you pictures...I wrote a thread about my experience in PV. We went to lots of restaurants while we were there and if you like mexican...the best mexican and margaritas was at SI SENOR in PV. Andrea

Brasil steakhouse in cabo is an all you can eat steakhouse (with a load of different kids of meat,appetizers, ect.). I believe it costs around $30 a person not including drinks. you get salads, enteree(sp?), appetizers all in the same price. Just a suggestion... We love this place...Erik and I

horray melissa....Have fun. Send us lots of pics..and again have fun
