Our Travel Plans

Marko and I are flying down to SJD (straight flight from SFO, Alaskan Flight #224 at 9:30am if you'd like to fly with us :-) Wed. April 15 and coming home on Wed April 22nd (#253 at 5:05pm)... We just bought them and they were about $550/person round trip, so don't mess around - book it now!
Just ask Joh, Carrera and Johny Marrs how excited they are to already be booked on our party flight...
Invites are going out this week - please feel free to call or write with any questions, we want each and every one of you there to celebrate with us :-)

Info on resort, etc

Here are the hotels darlings! We are staying at Palmas de Cortez (click here for room rates - make sure you book under the Olson/Karakasevic wedding for 20% discount), but both hotels are great. At Palmas all the rooms are great - we prefer ocean view. It can be kinda noisy in the pool view rooms, the quietest rooms are the garden view. If you are traveling in a group or meeting up with some of your favorite people, I suggest getting a condo... They have two bedrooms (with flat screen TV's! - the rest of the rooms are m-e-l-l-o-w: no clocks or radios), a full kitchen and a nice view... Marko and I will be in one of these, and they are all grouped together - ocean view.
If I had a guess, and you are wondering which hotel to book, the party people will be at Palmas and the lucky mommies and daddies and those not wanting to party late night will stay at Playa del Sol (click here for room rates - make sure you book under the Olson/Karakasevic wedding for 20% discount)... I haven't personally checked out Playa del Sol, but next time Marko and I go down (November maybe?) I will advise on the best rooms :-) The hotels are only a block away, so it will be super easy to go back and forth.

Marko and I will be staying for a week or so, you are more than welcome to join us! This is not a one night party!

Activities:
There are all sorts of fun things to do through the resort (linked above)... Snorkeling, 4-wheeling, etc. We like to rent Rhino 4-wheelers and take them (unguided) up to the waterfall... and DEEP SEA FISHING!!!

There is a spa at Palmas that services both hotels for all us
ladies :-)

Click here for windsurfing, kayaking, and mountain biking.

Fly into SJD Airport (you WILL need your passport), and schedule a shuttle with the hotel. The shuttle costs the same no matter how many people you put in it, so it's cost effective to share with as many people will fit. You can certainly rent a car, but insurance (a must) is extremely expensive and you won't have many places to drive once you get there... If you are in road trip mode, by all means - hook it up!
