Last details!

As much as I cannot believe it... we leave for Mexico in DAYS! Some last minute details (but crucial details) to share:

Starting Tuesday, if you need to reach us, please use the following number: 1-215-667-8788. Please note - we HIGHLY recommend turning your cell phone off in Mexico. The data roaming charges are very high.

Driving directions (from the Cancun Airport)
  • From the airport take route 307 South (towards Tulum, Playa Del Carmen)
  • You will stay on route 307 all the way to Akumal
  • Depending on traffic, plan for 1 hr - 1 hr & 45min travel time
  • As you approach Akumal, the last large all-inclusive resort on your left will be Sirenis.
  • You will go under a pedestrian overpass and an automotive overpass.
  • You will want to take a left at the intersection, but you must go beyond the intersection and then make a U-turn at teh "retourno" just down the road.
  • Double back and then turn right onto the Akumal access road next to the automotive overpass.
  • Go down the road, under the arch, then bear left onto the main road.
  • Go about a mile.
  • Stay on teh main road, which makes a couple of bends to teh left towards the end.
  • You will see the public enterance to Yal Ku lagoon directly in front of you.
  • The romero complex is immediately to the right of the public enterance
  • Drive into the driveway
  • You've made it!
Groceries & Supplies -
If you're planning on grabbing some groceries, we suggest you do it in Playa del Carmen, rather that Akumal. Akumal does have a small grocery store, but the prices will be better in PDC.

In PDC the easiest grocery store to get to is "Soriana" in the central maya mall on teh right side at the far end of PDC, opposite of Sam's Club.

See you soon!!!!! K&B

One small month to go!

Unbelievably there's just one month until the big day. Yes, in one month we will be "the Murphy's", "mr. & mrs."...married! So what's this mean to you?

1. You should have sent your RSVP card in by now. And, if you're part of the cool crowd who's heading down for the trip - it should be marked "happily accepts".
2. You should expect to receive an email from me in the next week with additional details about the location, what to expect at the Cancun airport, and other pertinent details.
3. You should start stocking up on sunscreen and light-weight clothes - it's gonna be hot down there!
4. You should be be thrilled that Nancy & Rick Watson are hosting a sunset cruise in Playa Del Carmen on Thursday, July 1...more details to come. Oh, you're invited to it!
5. If you had to check "regretfully declines", you should know that we completely understand that it's quite the financial committment to head down to Mexico, and we still love you. Don't worry, there will be 100's of pictures that we will show you.

We're so excited. So looking forward to seeing everyone in Mexico. So looking forward to an amazing evening on July 3!
