More about the Wedding Celebration - Places to Stay

We're so excited that you're coming to celebrate with us! The Wedding Celebration on July 30th at 6:00pm will be at Maggiano's Restaurant located on the 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver. There are so many different hotels to stay at in the Denver area, but we wanted you to be able to have the location of the party so you can start planning your trip. You could choose to stay at any of the downtown hotels that are nearby. Some of the closest hotels to Maggianos (you might want to check a map to see the locations of these) are the Hilton Garden Inn, the Crowne Plaza, the Sheraton, the Grand Hayatt, and the Embassy Suites. Dave and I will most likely be staying in one of these downtown hotels (we can let you know as soon as we pick if you want to stay with the cool kids :) - but we haven't gotten that far yet!) Additionally, there are many hotels very close to the Denver airport, although then you would have to arrange transportation to/from the airport area to the downtown area (depending on traffic 20-30 minutes). We also don't know if you're planning to do other things in the Denver/Colorado area before/after our wedding party, so please feel free to look around and stay wherever works best for you!!

The WeddingMoon Itinerary

Alrighty folks... Here's the run down for our adventure on the way to becoming husband and wife! July 10 - we fly from Denver to Lima, Peru. July 11 - we get in to Lima super early and have the rest of the day to either zonk out in the hotel or explore Lima... Hopefully a bit of both! July 12 and 13 - we fly from Lima to Cuzco and then have a few days before we hit the Trail. July 14-17 - Inca Trail!! We hike for 3 days, and then on the 4th day we reach Machu Picchu! July 18 - after our first day in Machu Picchu (and a loooong shower and non-trail food in Aguas Calientes) we will head back for day 2 in Machu Picchu and will hopefully be climbing Huayna Picchu. Then we take the train back to Cuzco. We are guessing somewhere on the trail, or at Machu Picchu, we will actually get married. Don't worry, we'll take lots of pictures to share at the Wedding Celebration! July 19 - we fly from Cuzco to Lima and then Lima to Quito, Ecuador. July 20-23 we fly from Quito to the Galápagos and spend 4 days on a cruise around the islands. We plan to hike, snorkel, kayak, and pet the tortoisises! July 24 - fly home! July 30 - Wedding Celebration in Denver, CO - celebrate our marriage with family and friends (You!!)

Invitations are going out!

Hopefully you're reading this because you just got an invitation to join us for our Wedding Celebration this summer! As I'm typing this I am about to hand out the first batch of invites, and put a few more in the mail. It will probably take a little while to collect all the addresses we need, so I'm sorry if yours isn't there tomorrow :) We are finalizing the plans for the Wedding Celebration party, so please check back again for more specific details!

Inca Trail Permits Finalized!!

We finally received notification that our permits for the Inca Trail have been confirmed. That was the last piece of the puzzle for getting this adventure booked!! I will post our full itinerary soon! Woo hoo!!!
