From Chicago, American Airlines is the only airline that flies daily, non stop to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Other airlines will get you there but will stop along the way (stops are usually in Miami, New York, or Atlanta). You may find sites like, Orbitz, or Kayak helpful when booking your flight. When selecting an airport for Puerto Rico, use airport code SJU (for Luis Munoz Marin International Airport).
Jon and I will be arriving on Tuesday, March 26 and departing the following Tuesday. For more specific details on the wedding weekend, see the itinerary page.

Some historical trivia: Ramón “Monchito” Marrero, a bartender at the Beachcomber Bar at the Caribe Hilton, set out to capture the sunny, tropical flavor of Puerto Rico in a glass. Monchito spent three months perfecting his new cocktail, mixing and tasting hundreds of combinations until he hit on just the right blend of rum, coconut cream, and pineapple juice. On August 15, 1954, the Piña Colada was born. Read more here.
