Suggested Packing for Jamaica/More Info

Just some small suggestions :)

- A valid passport
- Bathing Suites! Bring as many as you can.
- Flash Light. It gets very very dark at night.
- Jamaican Dollars, I think it's cheaper if you exchange in America
- Any cosmetics under 3 oz., you can't really shop for these things in Negril, Jamaica
- Very light clothing
- Sunglasses
- Bug Spray (under 3 oz.)
- SPF


We will bring a steamer to fix wrinkled clothing and delicates. TenSing Pen will provide shampoo, lotion, bar soap, towels, and other basic lodging accommodations. There is a small "shop" across the street where refreshments, beer, and snacks can be purchased.

TenSing Pen can provide spa services as well as book activities. Just look on TenSingPen.com.

I also found this place which looks great!

Here is a good site to check weather.


Internet service can be found at the TenSing Pen office. If you want more internet time, I found these:



Easy Rock Internet Cafe (West End)

I also dug up more photos of Tensing Pen. Thanks to flickr and google, I present to you more of the beauty TenSing Pen holds:

ps!

been working on the wedding invitations. jess and i have been trying really hard to figure out the wording. i took some time to try to design something great. so far, this is what i have come up with.

oh, the little things :)

action plan

as some of you already know, our wedding is nearly 100% hand made. everything is earth friendly, hand done, and completely unique. i am excited to have a wedding that represents the life we life, however it has been proving a bit more difficult to have the things we want, because it's jamaica. im betting they dont have peonies. i love the environment, i just dont want tropical decor. im sure we will figure it out. also i learned that when you say "wedding" the price goes up about 50% for everything!

i have to admit though, we have been pretty lucky. we agree on almost everything, not one ounce of arguing about anything, which is a wonderful relief. i heard so many horor stories of how planning a wedding can ruin a relationship. im happy to say it's actually making us stronger, and teaching us to communicate really well!

we have had the return address labels designed, as well as stickers and some favors. pixelbypixel (on etsy.com) did the work. they did a good job, though communication was a bit difficult (emails only.) It was worth it though, the results are exactly in the theme of the wedding.



thats all for now really! still havent quite nailed down table design.
