Question

Do I need a passport to travel to El Salvador?

Answer

Yes! A valid passport is required. Make sure it doesn’t expire within 6 months of the wedding date—otherwise, the airline may not let you board

Question

When should I arrive? When should I leave?

Answer

We are planning for a welcome party the Friday before (Feb 13) and then 2 nights at an all inclusive resort the Sunday and Monday that follow (Feb 15-17). So we will have 4 days of activities planned to hopefully spend all together. Whatever you can afford to do financially and with work/time off we would love for you to attend! Ideal plan would be to fly in by Friday morning and leave on Tuesday! :)
