Wedding Details

Hello!!

Todd and I are getting married, as you now know, in Costa Rica during the week of Dec. 27th to Jan. 3 and you are invited! We do not know exactly which day the wedding will be yet, but it will be that week :). We are very excited and hope that you come ready to enjoy a great holiday as well our wedding.

Costa Rica is a very safe country and we are headed to an all-inclusive resort on the north-west (Pacific) coast. You do need a passport that is valid for six months after the date of entry but no Visa is required. There is no malaria in Costa Rica and I, personally, don't see any need for travel vaccinces.

We will be flying into Liberia at varying times depending on whether you're coming from Toronto or Vancouver. In Liberia a tour bus will take us the 30 minute drive to the resort and we're there! The flight times are as follows:
Toronto to Liberia, Costa Rica,
Depart Toronto Dec. 27 at 8:00am
Arrive Liberia at 12:25pm
Depart Liberia Jan. 3 at 1:25pm
Arrive Toronto at 5:35pm

Vancouver to Liberia, Costa Rica
Depart Vancouver Dec. 27th at 7:20am
Arrive Liberia at 4:15pm (one stop in Calgary)
Depart Liberia Jan. 3 at 5:15pm
Arrive Vancouver at 11:00pm (one stop in Calgary)

The price we've been quoted from Toronto is $1,823.00 plus $193.20 taxes = $2,016.20 CAD per person. That includes flights, hotel accommodations and all your food and drink for the week. The price from Vancouver is $1935 plus $189.90 taxes = $2,124.90 CAD. To book your trip you need to contact Flight Centre at 250 412 0140 locally or 866 210 6135 toll-free. Simon Towner is our person of contact, however you can book with anyone there as long as you specify that you are with the Dunlop/Beeftink party to get the deal and travel with the group. The amount is due by SEPTEMBER 15TH so we can secure your places.

Once in Costa Rica there are many things to do of your choice from zip-lining and surfing to visiting the hotsprings or lazing by the pool or ocean. You can even attend a wedding while you're there! The resort is called the Allegro Papagayo Resort and the website is http://www.occidentalhotels.com/hotel_information.aspx?hotel=1082649683227 .

If you have any questions, please post them here or call us at 250-857-3262. We are very excited about this amazing opportunity to have the wedding of our dreams and are really happy you are coming to help us celebreate. It means alot to us for everyone to travel so far and we hope that you all come looking for an exciting and relaxing vacation as well as a wedding.
