Have you shopped around a bit?? I still really feel that the pricing is just coming out now, and if we're all a little more patient it will drop. I've been checking pricing for around Christmas time, and it's around the $1500 mark, which is what we're hoping for. It doesn't make sense that Christmas time would be less expensive than early next year (i have studied travel and tourism).....our one TA quoted us $2100 and was very firm that the pricing wouldn't drop at all from it's first release....I'm still holding out. Pricing always drops to encourage people to travel, especially for AI resorts.

Lindobride your STD's are gorgeous! I wish mine turned out as lovely as yours! A hen night better be the same as our bachelorette nights b/c I'm going to one tomorrow! lol A friend of mine is back for a quick visit before her wedding (she's currently living in England) and we're having her 'hen night' tomorrow!

Quote: Originally Posted by carly Just wondering, how long is recovery time? I'm reading a bunch of different things online and I forget what they told me during my consult. If I got it done on Tuesday, would I be out of work the whole week or just that day? i believe with Lasik, the recovery is much quicker than laser. I think you would need to have a follow up the day after surgery and should be good to go back to work the day after that. With the Laser surgery you need to be prepared to be off for the week!

I had Laser surgery done (no flap cut) and I used to work at a Laser Eye Clinic. I was someone who loved wearing my glasses but b/c I worked there got the procedure for free. It's probably the best thing I've ever done. My eyes were healed in 3 days, and I haven't had any issues with halos or trouble with night vision. I do find that living in my condo the air is dryer, and I do wake up with sore eyes from time to time. If I used eye drops more often than I do (which is never) I probably wouldn't experience that. I even had a corneal abrasion to my one eye 6 weeks after surgery and no problems what so ever! I highly recommend it!

I love these convertible dresses. I had found one by a company called Two Birds One Stone (i think!??!) but the dresses were over $200. I will have to show this to my MOH and see what she thinks! I was hoping to have 3 bridesmaids and have them all in different styles!

I have told CW that 5.5k is our max (we also have to add, photos and wedding package on that). I have looked at other hotels on our short list and they came in at around 5k. The flights are only £2000 so the rest is the hotel rate. We searched for months and months and just fell in love with the Palace. Like most of you, you just know when it's the one. We will wait a bit and see what other prices we can get then decide what to do. But if we can avoid changing hotels we will. Josie so exciting cant wait to see your dress! 8 months to go whoop!!!! I know how you feel when you find the one....as an alternative, keep in mind that the Barcelo property has something like 5 resorts on the property. The Maya Palace is the highest end one of the 5, but my aunt and uncle stayed at one of the others last year and loved it....said they didn't really think there was much difference between the different resorts on the property. Maybe you could stay a couple nights at the Maya Palace after the wedding. Just an idea! Good luck and I hope it all works out for you!

I actually have the legitech portable speakers, but my brother has the bose sound dock. I had considered asking him to bring it, although I think it would be somewhat of an inconvenience for him! The portable speakers are really easy to travel with!

I guess I mean those of us who have already been with our fiancees. I think if I told him I wanted to hold out for even three months to make our wedding night special he would tell me no way! My FI almost laughed in my face when I joked about waiting once we got engaged! We've lived together for over a year....and there's no way either one of us could hold out that long! Good for you ladies out there who are waiting! Your wedding night will be truly special!

Russell Crowe= A Beautiful Mind

Our newest TA just quoted $2100.....I refuse to lock this in at this point....I know these prices are going to drop!

I just checked today, and it's still up around $2100...and our newest TA has just quoted us over $2100....I'm willing to hold out for another month or so before I start to panic. Just remember the pricing has just come out for 2011! where in Canada are you??

Yep! But only till November when we're taking a 2 week vacation sailing around St. Vincent and the Grenadines with my FI's dad and step-mum!!

Angela Bassett- How Stella Got her Groove Back

Congrats! Your ring is beautiful!! I couldn't stop looking at mine for the first month...or so! I'm getting married at Dreams Tulum....and I guess I've been super lucky so far as I've always heard back from my WC within a day of sending her email, including the first requesting to see what dates were available! Good luck and happy planning!

Rant over........ and back to happy wedding stuff :-) I have to agree with you...I've actually taken a few trips to the DR, and spent a lot of time travelling around the country not in AI resorts, actually with the locals, and I never once felt like I was in any danger. Like all countries there are the very poor and the very rich....and it's very beautiful and the people are extremely friendly....and I also found this to be true in Cuba!
