[Imc-radio] Proposal to mail Meridith a MD

[Pauline Bartolone]

Sorry to chime in last minute, but I wouldnt send any equipment to 
Guatemala, unless someone is physically handing it to her. It will probably 
be caught in customs (if it even turns up), and then she'll have to pay a 
fee for it. I know that sometimes sending equipment to places like Costa 
Rica and Argentina costs more to pick it up from customs then the actual 
piece of equipment. I was in guatemala, and the mail system is pretty 
unreliable if it is anything but a postcard... (especially if she is outside 
a major city)
