Woohoo! Sounds exciting!! We get in on May 3 so I'd be happy to take some pics of your wedding. Is it going to be on the beach at 11am? Just want to make sure I'm in the right spot. Maybe we can meet for drinks at the martini bar the night before? We should be at the resort by 3pm. We probably won't make the cat cruise that night but will definitely be at the beach party. You buy and I'll save seats!

Well looks like we are the only ones coming into MBJ on 5/11. Larry and Laura from Pa. Can't wait to meet new friends. Only 24 more days! WHOO HOO!

Stacie & Chris, we arrive @12:50pm and are flying Timair to negril...hope is for no bad weather = feet in the sand early : )

Yes, it will be on the beach at 11am Friday...Did you say this trip will be your 10th anniversary? Wedding or to Couples?

We unwind as soon as we board the plane in Houston! It used to take us a day to get into the groove and relax, but not anymore. As soon as we get to the resort, we dump everything in the room and head straight to the pool bar for a drink and the grill for a snack. It should be around 3/3:30p, so if we don't meet sometime around then, we can try for drinks at 7p? Either way I'll be on the beach at 11a the next day - hubby should just be getting back from his dive.

It's our 10th wedding Anniversary (technically in August) but also our 10th trip to Couples - we discovered it and got hooked on our honeymoon!

Oooh, I completely forgot that we will be there during Cinco de Mayo.....doubt they celebrate it, but I think we should!

I recognized the background! I was there 4 years ago and pretty much have the same picture....down to that darn little boat in the background that would just not get out of the picture!!

We almost added a day and came in on the 11th. We fly for free because Chris works for an airline. We were just going to fly standby, but the flights on the 12th were booking up fast. The flights on the 11th were wide open. I compared prices between buying a ticket on AirTran and staying an additional night. Well, it was nearly $600 for one additional night. We are going to fly for free to Orlando, then we booked AirTran round trip for Orlando (for only $460).

I think our flight arrives around 1:15.

I'm going to guess it will take us a minute or x 1500 to unwind by the work stress we've been under (hoping it will happen 6:30 am flight out of CMH -mark hates to fly) but by the 3rd - shoot - were in....I can tell you right now - we will be at the beach & bars.... BEACH I long for.....pool or beach bar around 3:30 -4:30... just yell JAMAICA and if someone yells out - NO SHE LET ME - that will be my guy LOL.... if not the pool bar we will try to hit the Martini Bar around 7ish as well..thanks so much - looking forward to meeting you.....btw i saw your pic you posted - you guys look like alot of fun were in the atriums - where are u booked?

We will be there the same time as yall. The 5th through the 10th

I can't believe we only have one Friday left.......WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!!

I'm sure we will see you around sometime that afternoon....Mark sounds just like Steve so we could be in trouble if they start yelling at the bar Last night Steve said that as soon as we get there this time, he wants to go straight to the room, change into suits, hit the bar for drinks, the grill for a pattie, and take a walk on the beach - guess he thinks he has this all planned out.....LOL! I'm just terrible at recognizing people from the message board once we get there - people look different in bathing suits, sunglasses, hats and suntan lotion...

We are a lot of fun...LOL! We booked the Beachfront Suite this year - fingers crossed we like it! Stayed in the Ocean Verandah last time and loved being on that side of the resort. We tend to hang on the beach all day, near the pool bar and volleyball net. Hubby is a diver so he does that every morning. I'm nothing but a beach bum so I do that every day!

3 weeks from RIGHT NOW, we will be landing at MBJ. The wait is torture!!!!

We thought about flying, but this is my first time in Negril and Chris' first time in Jamaica (and we're there for 11 days), so we decided to see the sights on the drive this trip. We are heading to CN for our anniversary next May (for only 8 days), so we'll probably fly for that trip.

26 More Days and we will be in Jamaica Finally!! I am uploading a picture of us, Hope to see you all on the beach or the swim up bar

1 week from today and we'll finally experience CSA!! I can barely contain my excitement enough to focus on all the work that needs to be completed prior to leaving!!

OK I tired to upload a photo of us. Not sure I did it right so we'll see in a few days! LOL Anyway we will see everyone on the 19th of May!

My wife and I will be there april 27 to may 4th on our honeymoon. From Phoenix, AZ

It's called Jamaican Fever. The closer you get to arrival, the higher your chances on catching it. Symptoms include a severe case of Jamaica Brain - tendency to ignore all work and household duties in order to browse pictures on the website, check the message board or the Facebook page. Only known cure is to pack your bags and get to Couples as soon as possible. Do not pass go, do not collect $200. We will see a week from Thursday!

First time at CSA. May 26 - 31. My Fiance and I will be there. We're short, fun, and love to laugh! We'll be the ones with drinks in our hands.... wait a minute.... :-) Can't wait. The next 31 days will be the longest ever. Hope to see people having a good time down there!

Hi, just wanted to see if the list can be updated? Our dates and our friends dates are wrong. Don't want to miss out on meeting anyone that's there at the same time.

We are Lyn & Jan from UK dates should be 20/5 to 3/6. Our friends LP and Little Red from 10OC get there 19/5 to 30/5.

Just wanted to make sure people there at the same time look us up. This will be our 4th visit and can't wait to get back.

See you at the bar. Ccciiiggggaarreeettttsssssssssss

Hi My Fellow May Travelers...while most of us are still doing the double digit dance ...some of us are lucky enough to now be doing the single digit dance. I unfortunately, am still doing the double one...ugh...these 27 days are going to feel like eternity!!

Have fun everyone!!!!
