This page will be updated as we finalize our plans, and as we all decide on what we would like to do during our vacation. But just because people have planned something, doesn't mean you have to do it - this is your vacation, too! And there may be times where John and I, and also the Wedding Party, need to be elsewhere to handle wedding details... but at least we can all try to do as much together as we want, and this will let people know who might be where when.
