more details re.flights, accomodation etc.

Hi everyone,

Elena and I are heading over to Pamplona next week to get the ball rolling with the church, the menu and anything else that needs sorting. I plan to post up the first names of all the people who are confirmed in the next few days. A load of people have been sending me mails, texts etc. asking about flights etc. so I'm putting up some more info-

The wedding is on Saturday 26th April! (I can't believe some people are still asking me that!)

I'm flying into Bilbao on the 24th of April. Most of my family will be on this flight as well, so if you can afford the extra few days off (you'd have to take Thurs, Fri, Mon and Tues) then maybe this would suit you. I'll be organising a bus to take us to Pamplona, and at the moment its working out at around €50 return, although the more people there are, the cheaper it is.

Quite a few people are flying into Santander (which is still quite cheap even now) and renting cars to drive up to Pamplona. Santander has flights on Friday and Sunday, which suits a lot of people who can't get time off work. Again, I'll be putting up all the info I know about whose going where, so you can work it out between yourselves.

There are apartments available for renting and they work out cheaper than hotels, and the more people, the cheaper it is to spread the cost. If you're interested then check the previous post. If you can't read the table then click on it and it should come up in its own window, and then print it.

The hotel we're getting married in, The Iruna Park, has a special discount for the night of the wedding, although I'll know more about their rates next week.

There are a number of hotels in Pamplona city centre, but our hotel is in an area called Iturrama. Quite a few people have already booked hotels in the city centre. That's absolutely no problem, as Pamplona is quite small anyway. The Iruna Park is about a 20 minute walk from the city centre, and there are taxis, buses etc for those not au fait with walking.

We're getting married in Elena's hometown, Egues, which is outside Pamplona. We will be arranging a bus for everyone, and a suitable meeting point. After the wedding we will be coming back to the Iruna Park for our reception.

There's no specific dress code. I'll be wearing a suit. I've no idea what Elena's dress looks like, but needles to say she'll look a million dollars. Please feel free to dress how you feel. We invited you because you are our dearest friends, not because of what you wear...

There will be a vegetarian menu available, but please let me know if you have any special dietary considerations. I'll be contacting the vegetarians separately anyhoo.

Finally for now, if you have a gmail account and would like to leave comments on this blog, you should be able to click the comments section and log in with your gmail address. Otherwise, you can email me or send me a text, or indeed call.

OK, I think that's it. I'm sure I'll have to post again because I've forgotten loads of things....

Speak soon,

lots of love from Elena and me,
