The altitude is 8250 feet above sea level so it is important to drink a lot of water and electrolytes before arriving and while you are here. The sun is closer so wear lots of sunscreen and bring a sunhat for when you are enjoying the hot springs.
We are so happy that you are able to make it! That is the best present to both of us. We understand that travel is expensive and you are coming from far away. Plus, We have been together for 10 years! We have everything that we need. Your love and well wishes is enough.
Most definitely, drink a tall glass of water or two for every alcoholic drink that you have. Make sure that you have eaten a good, hearty dinner, and pace yourself. Have some ibuprofen available for the morning to get ahead of a headache.
Yes, there are some hotels in Buena Vista you can find on Booking.com but I think you will find them to cost just as much as the discount you will get at the resort. Just make sure, if you do book at Mt. Princeton, that you use the code MALPAL and tell them that you are coming for the Malone-Pallis wedding.
A swimsuit, sunscreen, a sun hat, clothes to wear to the wedding. Maybe some clothes to play around in and hiking shoes. You can rent bikes for free if you are staying at the resort.
We suggest that you stop at City Market on your way in a get some snacks, breakfast and lunch. The cabins have kitchens. There is a store at the resort but it is limited and pricey. We will have some welcome snacks at our cabin for Sunday arrivals. Monday, we will all have a nice dinner at the reception.
