I always stayed at the Marriott (now the Barcelo). I will be staying there again 31Dec2008-08Jan2009. Maybe we'll see you there. call Trent at Velocity tours - they should be able to help with accomadations and flights.

Congratulations on your great news.

Love to you,
Deb

Congrats!! How exciting!! I am so happy for you!! What a great new year you will have!

Velocity Tours & Travel - I would suggest emailing or calling Trent at Velocity Tours and he can see what is available and give you pricing and set it up for you. This is what I did for DS pick up trip. I also had him arrange a van to pick us up at the airport when we had 12 bags on the visit trip ( most were donations).

Congratulations!!! How wonderful that you now have your date set and can make all your plans. I am so very happy for you! We just stayed at the Barcelo and nothing has changed--the people there are wonderful.

Happy New Year!
