If you're coming to the wedding . . .

Hey! Happy New Year everyone! I'm going to mail out hotel information for our wedding in May, and I thought since Bryan set this up I might as well post it on here for y'all. I don't know if you all will be able to make it or not, but just in case . . .

We put 15 rooms on hold at the Courtyard Marriot.
Room options are as follows:
- 1 King w/ sleeper couch
- 2 Queen beds

The hotel room holds are under Jansen-Sanford Wedding.
You will need the code: JSWS
Phone #: (979) 695-8111
Cost: $89.00 per night
Cut-off date: April 25
. . . and you will have to give them your credit card number at this time.
Rooms are available from Thursday through Sunday.

Anyway, we hope to see you all in May otherwise I hope to see you all soon!

I've been checking rates on Din from Southwest. They have really low prices, only problem is they fly into the smaller airports where they do not fly to College Station. So, whoever goes this route will have to drive.

I've been looking at prices for Austin, Houstin, and Dallas and will let you know if I see anything good from Philly or Louisville.

Who will all be leaving from StL? When are you leaving? I was thining if we could all take the same flight, we could get one rental car???

Thanks for the info Amy, Ruthie and I are booked at the hotel.

Thanks for posting about sharing a car Justin. We've been looking for flights like crazy and I think we just found the best we'll find from louisville to dallas on american. Southwest is about $110 more per ticket. Anyway. Check out american from stl to dallas. They have round trip flights at 139 today (which i think is better than southwest). If we ended up in dallas at aroud the same time I'd be all for sharing a car/something large enough to hold everything. I'll compare flight times and see what i can find.

I know Dallas is a 3 hour drive to college station, and houston is like half that, but it might be worth it.

I'm using farecast.com to find the flight costs. Also, Ruthie and I got a car from priceline for really cheap when we went to Denver last year, so that may be a good option, unless Kevin could help us out with that?

So I looked up flight times to dallas from stl and louisville and found two options for arriving friday and leaving sunday. I tried to look at philly but I couldn't find any flights close enough together. Those times were arriving around 8:00am or 3pm and then departing around 10:15am or around 7:00pm.

That may not be all that great of an option but thats all that matches up.

It's cool if we don't end up sharing a car with anyone. I know it is very difficult to set something like this up from different cities. I still need to talk to my mom and Lisa about what their plans are too.

Some info on flights/airports in TX:

Generally, flights to Houston are cheapest on Continental b/c they have a hub there. Currently STL to Houston is $178 on Continental. Unfortunately it is significantly more expensive to fly from Louisville to Houston (but $198 from Louisville to Austin on Cont). If you are planning to fly to Dallas, American through DFW or Southwest through Love Field is probably cheapest. I would suggest checking every airline if you are considering Austin. The prices seem to change every few days. I also have some coupons for discounts on rental cars if needed (although I bet Kevin has that covered).
