I am in love with the set up! The beach beds are awesome, it reminds me of where my bach. party was in PV...and they are so cute together!

Gorgeous! I love beaches like that where there aren't big buildings in the background, mostly nature.

Oh my!! You aren't exaggerating, that is breathtaking!

I say Jamaica because I had the time of my life there! People had lots of great suggestions here in terms of locations: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15543

They do that when you're just hanging on the beach so I can imagine that they really get you at a wedding!

Quote: Originally Posted by Yari I am not sure about the resports. I know Las Caletas, PV only has one wedding at a time. So the place is all yours no sharing. Ditto, and it's invaluable to have the undivided attention of the staff, no matter where you are.

Quote: Originally Posted by jujigirl I would like to say that the things Aubrey says are SOOOO contradictory it is hilarious to me. I'm paraphrasing...but here are two of my faves: Aubrey in the hall while both groups are recording (I think she is talking to Q) and starts bragging about being a platinum group blah blah blah...and then goes into the room and talks about being humble?!!??! Situation number 2: When she is SCREAMING in the room "The loudest person in the room knows the leeeaassst" That seriously cracked me up...since she was clearly the loudest person. Also...the conversation with Donnie where she talked about how she wasn't "normal" and that he needed to treat "artists" with respect. Not gonna lie...threw up in my mouth a bit after that annoying conversation. OK..sorry about the rant, I LOVE the show and love that the guys are coming together. She is so contradictory! Wow! I agree with you all and after 1 album? She's not Mariah or something! I'm also looking forward to next week, especially when Diddy says how she always has something to say when he's gone so she better speak up...lol

Okay guys what did you think? Can I just reiterate that Aubrey irks me? All that talk to Donnie about how she's real...whatever. Real conceited maybe. She wasn't as crazy as I thought she would be when she confronted Donnie and the chick, but still... And that was messed up of Q to call her to the restaurant knowing she would act crazy, and messed up that he tried to blame Brian and the other guys for the drama he started.

I'm a hometown team girl in every sport, win or lose. But if I were from a place where my team sucked in general, I guess I would jump ship too...haha! That's a dig for the Yankee fans who my A's hate to see in the playoffs

Great review Edna! I've been to Velas and I agree that the rooms are huge and nicely decorated, and the pool/rivers are awesome! I could lose a day just floating around...I almost did Sounds like you had a fun and productive trip. Next time I'm in PV I'll have to check out the taco spot and Mandala.

Jen your house kicks ass!! I love that you totally revamped it and made it so stylish, it's night and day. The before pics remind me of most everyone's house I went to as a kid...the old cabinets and linoleum, omg that was once a hot look...lol Great job!!

We've always had one form of their software or another and it is so frustrating because we rely on real-time monitoring, and there are always glitches like people's phone status coming up as "undefined" when they are on a call, or someone who is "not ready" showing up as "idle". In our industry those kind of glitches translate to lost revenue...were it up to me we would check into Avaya.

I think it's ridiculous too. Imagine what they could accomplish if they weren't trying to put on a show, all that determination could do some powerful stuff in the right arena.
