Catalonia Riviera Maya

[email protected] It looks like everyone is having trouble setting a date. I had a hard time with that part. once the date was set it was all easy. I think they just don't make an effort to help you set a date that is about a year out. But, I'm not comfortable booking a flight & sending out save the dates until I have it booked. so you really have to hound them on that. -

It was so sneaky. it popped up as soon as I started up my computer. I couldn't access the internet until I read this warning from time warner cable road runner. it was a warning about using Peer-2-peer programs. I had to click a link to access the internet after that. I sent the messqage to mike & he said it was fake. I called time warner & they confirmed it was fake. luckily I backed up my computer on Sunday. it had been a while since I had backed up so I thought it would be a good time. We are going to reformat my computer & start. I've been downloading lots of software lately trying to convery my wedding video toa file format I can work with & then soemthing I can burn on a DVD. I probably picked something up then. I need to buy an external harddrive & set it up to auto backup.

They do excellent work! but, claudia has different rates for karisma. Instead of $500 more, it's $900 more. So it's actually worse.

SO now what?!! Does anyone know what FM3,RFC, or FM2 mean..or how to go about getting a Mexican working visa (sounds difficult to me)? Thanks girls! they should go to their local mexico consulate to apply for one of these visas. does anyone know if the $500 fee is for 1 photographer only? Or can they bring an assistant? Do they need a day pass on top of that if they are going to eat? Why does claudias rate jump $900? Wouldn't you think it would go up $500.

I'm definitely gonna take a look at lumapix. I had already started my book in publisher but you make me want to scrap mine altogether! In the meantime, I want you to get some business cards printed to showcase your many talents! I will gladly be your first client! thanks! I thought about starting up a hobby job after my wedding, but I can barely keep up with all of my projects without giving myself a headache everyday. I spend too much time on the computer making stuff. And now that I'm learning photography, I'm one the computer even more. give lumapix a try & you will see you can make much cooler layouts than the my publisher templates.

Im not sure where I will post it though... any ideas? post it in "share your wedding/ engagement stories" I can't wait to hear about it. I was excited to see you are back. I hope it was wonderful to make up for the stress before you left. -

I am so up in the air about which site to use to design a book... i ordered this one through shutterfly because I had a free code. I'm making the parents books through snapfish because I have mroe free codes. I will probably order mine from mpix.com to get the really nice prints. their books are not fancy, but the pictures will look great. there are other companies for getting really fancy books. sarah posted one called something like brides incorperated that allowed non-pros to order flush mount books. I have not heard of Azure. most of the really nice book printers are only for pros.

one of miguels associates did my video. Cancun Wedding Videos | Mayan Riviera Wedding Videographer | Miguel Cantarell - Home is the website the video was very well done. I had a few dissapointments. one was that i couldn't get an answer on what to provide for music. so I just put about 8 songs on a cd & gave them my email address incase they needed more. they dubbed a different song over my actual down-the-aisle song instead of emailing me for the mp3. I've posted stuff on BDW that should help you know what to give them to get exactly the video you want. I posted my video too. I would definitly recommend them. I haven't heard of sergio though.

I searched & didn't find a list of things to do in Cabo like we have in the Riviera Maya forum. I'm starting to think about my trip to Cabo with my mom. If we go in the winter I'd love to go whale watching Whale Watching From January through March, it’s easy to spot a gray or humpback whale around Los Cabos without even trying. Making the longest migration of any mammal, grays travel 6,000 miles from the Bering Sea to calve in the buoyant shallow lagoons of San Ignacio, Scammon’s, Ojo de Liebre, and Magdalena Bay, all north of Los Cabos. Some travel further south to the Sea of Cortés. Ranging from 40 to 50 feet long and weighing up to 73,000 pounds, grays are classified as Cetacea, marine mammals that include whales, porpoises and dolphins and belong to Mysticeti, one of the three families of great baleen whales. Shore loving grays are the only whale to bottom feed. With long snouts and double blowholes on top of their heads, grays have a hump with dorsal ridges running to their flukes (tail) in place of a dorsal fin. While the gray whale is not the only species you will see (humpback, blue, sperm, Bryde’s, sei, fin, and the occasional orca travel these waters), along with the playful humpback it is the most commonly sighted around Los Cabos. On a whale watching excursion, you’ll see spouting, breaching (leaping almost completely out of the water and falling back with a large splash), and sounding (showing their flukes), all spectacular sights. To watch mothers and calves up close, trips to Magdalena Bay, the closest lagoon, are best made with daytrip fly-in tours. Aéreo Calafia runs trips during the season, an experience no whale lover should miss. We also like to zipline. What do you zipline over in Cabo? In riviera maya it's the jungle. Has anyone gone here?

Some GREAT reasons to skip using plastic bags...
rodent replied to Alyssa's topic in Random Thoughts
I used a reusable bag at the mall today. I think about it for grocery shopping, but this was the first time I thought to take a bag to the mall with me. it was much more comfortable than plastic bags. I had a nice shoulder strap & I was able to fit it all in one bag. -

To anyone who simply had a wedding for 2
rodent replied to excited J's topic in Destination Weddings in Jamaica
does he get ready quick? you could always use the room to get ready & then leave to take bridal portraits. he could step in at that time & get ready.
