The lady on the phone said I would have to pay a change fee and the increased fare to get on another airline for our flight from LA. UGHGHH! So I then talk to Alyssa and THAKFULLY! they got their wedding moved to the Big Island .WOO HOO! I called back and got another person with continental and they not only changed all of our flights with no change fees, but they sent us a wopping $60 is vouchers because the rate went down a bit. HA! it just goes to show you that not all customer service agents are the same. The first girl could have cared less about our problem yet the 2nd guy went out of his way to accomodate us. That's fantastic news. If you have the 2nd guy's name, I'd send a letter or email to Continental letting them know about his great customer service!

The Boulders is gorgeous, but there's not a great selection of restaurants up there. If you want variety within your reach, I'd stick to closer to Scottsdale. The Fairmont Princess is also a great choice. You should be able to get some decent rates, because most corporate groups ( these are who I work with ) don't really start coming back to the Valley until October. If there are any tours you're thinking of, let me know. I may be able to steer you towards the better vendors in the Valley. tvt-who did you use for the jeeps? I wonder if it was my favorite vendor?

Have you tried Naked Juice? The green Machine looks scary, but tastes like fruit juice. It's really good. I know this doesn't solve all your problems, but it'll help you get some of your veggies? Also they have the "greens" supplements (at healthfood stores). You can mix it with water or juice to supplement some of your veggies.

ooh, I just caugth up on last week's episodes over the weekend. Neil is going to flip out!! Ok & I am really creeped out by Adam. I am ready for someone to pop him right in the mouth! Little prick!

Welcome Eddie!

The Royal Palms is the most romantic hotel I know. It's small & boutique. Tons of weddings happen there, The Valley Ho is great! Very hip & the pool scene is crazy on the weekends! There are tons of great places to stay out here. And tons of great places to eat. I work at most of the hotels out here for work & am happy to give you any ideas. P.S. Why oh why is he a Cardinals fan?

welcome. Come hang out with the rest of us Maui brides in our little corner of the world!

congrats fellow Maui bride!!!

I can't wait until I can pass it on to another bride. For those who need one, I'll be back home the 2nd week in September, so I can send it to someone who has an October (or later) wedding!!

well, crap. I hadn't heard of this. Looks like I'll have some stuff shipped to the hotel ahead of time.

I think it's adorable. Go For It!!!

you look beautiful in your dress!

Hi ladies- don't know if anyone else has encountered this problem. I've recently started printing tests for my boarding pass invites, and have found that (after I print the 1st side) the bar code kindo of rubs off when I run it through for side 2. I'm using 110lb cardstock. To address it, I've started printing the 2nd page 1st, then page 1. Has anyone else (who printed the invites themselves) encountered this? I didn't want to print it on an inkjet if I can avoid it. I just don't like the quality as well.

Welcome to BDW!! You're gonna love the ladies here!!!!

We haven't decided yet. We'll have a guitarist at the ceremony, and I was checking out the songs on his list. We're thinking "Can't Help Falling In Love" by Elvis. We actually had this conversation recently, since we don't have a particular song as "our song". We have "our" movie & other things, but not a song. Our tastes in music are really different.

I think it's a great idea. It's personal to the two of you & that is better than a "cookie cutter" idea. I say "do it!"
