Ridesharing

The clock is ticking down....But who's counting?
Several folks have asked about ride sharing up to Strathcona, so we thought we would try to encourage people to post here. If you have a car and some empty seats or need a ride, please post here so we can reduce cost and the number of rented vehicles since you won't need one once we all get up to Strathcona. These are the schedules we know about so far

Welcome, celebrants!

Hi everybody. Well, thanks to Andy's friendly reminder that TIME IS SHORT, the wedding planning train is finally starting to chug out of the station. We hope the website has all the info you need to get cracking on your own planning. Please post here if there is info missing that you think it would be helpful to add.

Don't forget that Oct 5-8 is a long weekend in Canada, so travel reservations will get harder and more expensive as the date approaches, so don't dilly-dally (that is, do as we say, not as we do!).

The blog is a way for our esteemed guests to communicate about ride sharing, look for additional people to share a cabin if you have room, plan activities over the 3 day celebration or the after-party trip to Tofino, discuss women's issues, your favorite Broadway tunes, and so forth and what have you.

So go ahead. Discuss.
