La Krehe Casa

We closed on our house today and will be moving tomorrow!!! We really like our neighborhood and will only be moving 1.69 miles north of our apartment so hopefully it will go smoothly. Joe came down with a stomach bug this morning so say a prayer that it is just a 24 hour bug and he will be up and moving tomorrow.
Here are a few pictures of the house. This furniture belongs to the previous owners. It will be much emptier for a while. :)

Our New Address:
Joe and Carrie Krehe
8261 E. Old Mill Ct. Wichita, Kansas 67226

Our Wedding

We are so blessed! We could not have dreamed of a more wonderful way to celebrate our marriage. We have all of you to thank for that. We have many great memories of the time we were able to spend with each and everyone of you. Thank you for all of your love and support.
con amor,
Joe and Carrie

Excursions


We will be able to book excursions through the resort when we arrive. The link below shows many of Playa del Carmens attractions. Take a look and post what sounds fun in the comment section.



What to Pack???



A few essentials...


1. sunscreen and lipbalm with sunscreen

***the ecoparks Xel-Ha and Xcaret require biodegradable sunblock. It can be purchased at the parks. I included a link below that has some brands. I does have to be applied more often than regular sunscreen.
2. insect repellent
the humidity and jungle surroundings make a bug paradise





3. wide brimmed hats
a sunburned scalp is no fun, a wide brim also protects your face



4. Sunglasses with UV protection




5. Aloe Vera

just in case...

Please post any other must haves in the comments section.


Sorry Gentleman...







Guys...I am sorry to let you know that the ala' cart restaurants require gentleman to wear pants. I know, I know it is not fair that the ladies can wear dresses, but that's the silly rules. This means that unfortunatly the guys will have to pack pants to wear for Friday nights rehearsal dinner at la Hacienda Mexican restaurant and and Saturday nights wedding dinner at the la Gondola the Italian restaurant. Feel free to wear shorts to the wedding and change into pants for the dinner.

Luggage


Many airlines have height and weight stipulations as well as new fees for checked baggage. I added the baggage information links for several airlines below. Please check your airline to make sure you are aware of the stipulations. If your airline is not listed below, the airline website should have all the information you need. Also, make sure you are reading the guidelines for international travel. I noticed some airlines had different stipulations for different countries.


AMERICAN AIRLINES



FRONTIER AIRLINES



UNITED AIRLINES



US AIRWAYS



Money, Money, Money


How much money should you take??? Keli advises $100 a person per day if you are planning to leave the hotel that day for excursions, food and souvenirs. Otherwise...on the days you are staying at the hotel everything will be included. The American dollar is accepted most anywhere. It is safe to use your credit cards at the resort, but anywhere else you should consider using cash.
