SATURDAY, AUGUST
28, 2004 - 5:00 p.m.
HYDE MEMORIAL STATE PARK
~ SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO
We are providing transportation to and from the wedding on
Saturday. The wine and sangria will be flowing freely that evening,
and the wedding site at Hyde Memorial State Park is a long way
from town along a winding mountain road. We therefore ask
everyone to take advantage of the transportation we've
arranged. A small fleet of vans will pick everyone up in front
of the Hotel St. Francis (210 Don Gaspar Ave.) precisely at 4:00
PM. The ceremony begins at 5:00 PM sharp, so PLEASE DON'T BE
LATE for the 4:00 PM pick-up. Once we're up at the wedding
site, vans will be available to take people back into town beginning
at 8:00 PM until the park closes at 11:00 PM. And once we're
back in town we'll take the party
to a local nightclub or watering hole...
What is
the weather going to be like? *While the temperature
should be in the 70s - 80s and dry during the day, plan on bringing
a light sweater or jacket to the wedding because it cools down
quite a bit in the evenings. |

Friday Night (new!!!) |
|
 |
We are having an informal
dinner and get-together on the night before the wedding (Friday,
August 27th) at 6:30 P.M. at the Estancia Primera clubhouse.
Printable directions are here.
We hope that you'll
join us in this opportunity to see old friends, meet new ones, and get
acquainted with all of the people who've traveled to Santa Fe to
celebrate with us.
Expect local New Mexican
cuisine, margaritas, and
such.

Getting

Santa Fe is located in Northern New
Mexico an hour's drive North of Albuquerque, the state's largest
city and major air gateway. Albuquerque's airport (a/k/a the Albuquerque International
Sunport)
is
serviced by all of the major U.S. airlines. Southwest
Airlines tends to have very reasonable fares, especially
when you book early. WE ENCOURAGE
YOU TO BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS EARLY!!!
Rental cars are available at the
Albuquerque airport. In addition,
several shuttle
services provide transportation 7 to 10 times
daily between the Albuquerque airport and downtown Santa Fe hotels,
including the Hotel Saint Francis.
Once in town, getting around is easy. Downtown
Santa Fe is compact and most conveniently traveled on foot.
The Hotel St. Francis is located right in the heart of
Downtown and will provide
parking for rental cars at a modest
fee. We will arrange a shuttle bus to transport guests from the hotel
to the wedding and back.

Our Honeymoon Fund - We're trying to scrape
together enough money to go to Thailand in November (after the rainy
season)-- and we'd love for you to help! With a bit of luck, mortgage
payments and the pitter-patter of little feet won't
be too far off in our future, so we figure that this is the
best opportunity for an adventure such as this.
Or, surf on over
to the following sites, where we are registered for more traditional
fare:
Crate and
Barrel
Sur la
Table
Finally, we would be delighted if you would
prefer to make a charitable contribution to a cause that is dear to
us. Godparents Association
(GA)
helps to educate
and protect young Ugandan women who are at risk of
undergoing female genital mutilation. Kim came into contact
with GA when she represented a Ugandan woman and her young daughter
who were seeking asylum based on their fear of being
forced to undergo this dangerous procedure. Kim succeeded
-- with the help and expertise of GA's founder, Rebecca Salonen
-- and her clients are now living safely in the United
States.
