A few points as a reminder of things to think of if you are traveling internationally. 1. Is your passport up to date? You cannot travel on a passport set to expire in six months, so if your expiration date is Feb/March 2026 you will need to renew it! 2. Do you have your ESTA? Please make sure you complete the ESTA application at least two weeks before travelling. More info on the Travel page. 3. Do you have travel insurance or want to have it?

Question

If we are staying in the area for longer than the weekend, what should we do?

Answer

If you are staying for a longer period than just the wedding weekend, you can find some fun ideas of things to do in the section "Things to do". For housing, it might work out that staying in an Airbnb/Vrbo is more cost efficient than a hotel, but definitely look into what will suit you best. We have a few options of areas that you can stay in listed in the section "Travel".

Question

Please see information in the "Travel" section for hotel recommendations! We have given a couple of suggestions with varying price levels. However, there are several hotels in the area that are not listed, so also have a look online for other options.
