I know your timing has to do with your husband's works schedule, but if it was at all possible to defer your visit to late July or August you'd be there past the worst of the mosquitoes. Unfortunately June is usually pretty bad as they all hatch out in the late spring or early summer.

As far as the order of things goes, it doesn't matter very much.
