PASSPORT PROCESSING TIME is extremely delayed right now, check this site for details and *do not* wait until the last minute!
Returning to the US: Effective June 13, 2022, the US no longer requires a negative covid test to return to the US. However, the CDC has stated that this policy will be re-addressed every 90 days or if a new covid variant requires it. If you'd like to read more about this requirement, please visit:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/testing-international-air-travelers.html
The cost of insurance is based on your age, your state of residency and the total cost of your trip. Due to this, travel insurance prices will be quoted for each individual guest.
Without insurance, there are no refunds should your plans change. Without insurance, you will also not have any medical coverage for mishaps or catastrophic events. Your US health insurance will likely not work outside of the United States; please read the FAQ below for more detail.

There are no set requirements for payments, as long as final payments are made by the deadline. Final payments are due on August 7, 2024.
Due to contract deadlines, we recommend booking your hotel room as early as possible and adding air when you're ready.
If you book your own air, please forward your air confirmation email to me no later than September 11, 2024.. This is how we schedule your transportation pick up at your destination. Guests who do not submit their air information by the deadline will forfeit their included transfers.
The closest airport is Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Transportation is only included from this airport. The included transportation is a "shared transfer," which is a shuttle that may make stops at other properties. Guests are able to upgrade to a private vehicle at their own cost, see booking form for details.
If you would like assistance with air, we are happy to help! There is a $75 ticketing fee included in all of our air bookings.
Reservation forms should be one per ROOM, not one per person. When I get your form, I will email both of you and explain next steps.
If you and your roommate live at different addresses, please make sure to include the second passenger's contact info. This can go in the notes field.
Please include your requested dates in your reservation form and I will confirm availability! Note: rates outside the room block dates may differ from our group rates quoted here.
- The couple has signed a contract with the resort and has committed to a minimum number of rooms
- Only rooms booked with Alpaca Your Bags Travel count toward this contract
- The resort has a 3 night minimum stay requirement, but you are welcome to come earlier or stay later!
- We have reserved several different room types for you to choose from. Descriptions follow this FAQ
The group kindly asks that you book your hotel within our designated group contract here at Alpaca Your Bags Travel.
There are several reasons why you should honor the group's wishes and book the hotel portion with the group:
- The group has worked with me to negotiate a contract for the ENTIRE group. This includes a special set rate and included transportation.
- Groups are given priority status at the resort, so you might miss out on some VIP treatment.
- Groups are given priority room assignments, so if you book directly, you're likely getting a room that couldn't be sold to a group. It will be leftover inventory, probably in a undesirable location away from everyone else.
- Groups are given priority in terms of an oversold situation. If the hotel over sells, your group is protected but his reservation is not. You could be walked to another location.
- Will not get the group rates
- Will have to pay up front vs. over time.
- Will not receive any pre-departure, trip support or post-trip support from me.
- Unfortunately I cannot assist with travel arrangements made outside of the group, nor can I assist in the event of an emergency.
- Will be required to pay a day pass on property to attend wedding events. Note: Day pass sales are extremely limited due to covid occupancy restrictions.
Note: Due to the nature of my job, I am frequently on the phone with travel suppliers. Email is often the fastest and best way to reach me.
Kindly note my business hours of 9a-5p central time, M-Thursday and 9a-3p central time on Fridays. I am available outside business hours by appointment. Please allow up to 1 business day for a response.

Hi! I’m Ashley Morris; I’m the owner of Alpaca Your Bags Travel. Our name might be funny, but our service isn’t. As we enter our 8th year in business, I’m honored to help wedding couples, families and groups across the U.S. to make their travel dreams a reality. If you’re a Destination Wedding guest, you’re probably thinking, “Who is this person and how did my friend find her?”
Here are a few fun facts about me:
I started Alpaca Your Bags after spending 15 years in corporate marketing and advertising. Before travel, I worked in retail marketing at Target and Kohl’s as well as advertising agencies in New York City. Alpaca was born in my apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan
I am a former Destination Wedding bride myself! My husband Matt and I dragged 65 of our closest friends and family to Bavaro Beach, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. Matt is active duty USAF; we are currently in Warrensburg, MO - just south of the Kansas City area.
I work with couples all over the world and have clients in nearly every US state. In 2021, we will book & service over $1.5 million of travel for wedding groups, honeymoons, family reunions, vacations and more.
If you’re planning another vacation, I’d love to help you! Message me for more details on how we can work together.
