Andi ~ We are getting the gold/paradise package. 2nd from the best. It does come with private transportation. I was originally thinking of just doing the barefoot package, but I didnt like the idea of sharing my dinner w/ all the other ppl that were coming on the island or sharing transportation. I wanted it to be "special". I'm trying to make a deal where the entire party can go over early, but take the boat back with the ROTN crew.... Cause everyone has said they want to spend the day there, but that can get expensive at $50/pp to go over early. I guess maybe it's worth it. I know I'm going over early FOR SURE! Another question for all you brides.....I want to get a cake for "traditional reasons", but did you find yourself taking a lot back with you? With the dessert bar and alcohol, I'm wondering if anyone will even touch the cake (ha). I loved Andi and Rachel's box idea.......I'm trying to find boxes now that I can put my monogram on. Somehow I'm ending up at a deadend. I did find a very reasonable photog since Elizabeth, Nathaniel, Nate and Jillian were booked. I havent heard a whole lot about her, but her name is Eva w/ photoshootsvallarta.com. I hadnt heard anyone mention the island photogs, but I'm sure they are pretty good.
