For my loot bags, I'm going to make it really practical. Bandaids, aloe vera, emergence packets, advil, tiger balm, wipes, tums, anti you know what, etc. I was going to add Pringles, cookies, etc., but I thought everyone is going to eat and drink way too much on this trip, why add to it? Tiger balm is great for bites, headaches or tummy aches. I'm also going to make a currency exchange chart so people can easily whip it out and figure out the cost.

I'm starting to realize how hard it is to find a good TA in Calgary. The rates I'm getting are terrible. Why would I suggest to my guests to go through one when it would be so much cheaper to pay direct? I have one TA who may be promising and I'm going to check with AMA (thanks for the suggestions girls) to see if they can do better. We are getting married December 2013 - most likely a RIU resort in Playa del Carmen.

I heard negative things about Romantic Planet so I didn't even bother checking them out. Sorry to hear you had such a stressful experience. What happen?

Thanks. I've checked out three travel agents that were either not listening to what I wanted (I did not want to get married in Cancun but she was harsh promoting a resort that she just came back from), quoting me a very very high rate, and constant up selling so that I would benefit but my guests would get ripped off. I think I met the right agent - Jim from Flight Centre - #103 - 1632 McKenzie Ave, Tuscany Village Shopping Centre. So far he has been very professional, helpful and can get me a good price for my guests. I'm waiting to hear back from him and if the rates are good, I'm going with him. If it doesn't work out, I"ll try your recommendation.

I'm thinking of getting married either at Tequila or the Riu Palace Playacar... not sure yet... I would like to get married in Playa del Carmen at a RIU resort

From Calgary, Alberta. Anyone find a good TA yet? I've sent email inquiries to a few... Thinking of booking RIU in Playa del Carmen.

Just got engaged! We plan to have our wedding in December 2013. I'm leaning to a RIU resort in Playa del Carmen, but we'll see what happens when I find my TA.

I'm considering a RIU resort in Playa or Cabo for my wedding in 2013. I haven't booked yet because we haven't settled on a date yet... How would you compare RIU with Dreams? My sister-in-law swears by Dreams, but I've been to neither. RIU looks more affordable...
