Hello, I found this company while researching the same thing. http://xsbaggage.com/ It still seems kind of high. UPS Cargo? Please post back here when you figure it out. Thanks

Ecuador: Luggage Embargo, Summer 2011:

Hello, While searching the Interweb it seems that the summer luggage embargo periods fluctuate at the Mariscal Sucre International Airport. Can anyone confirm the dates for the summer 2011 embargo period? The best I could find is that the embargo is in effect for the period from June 3 to August 31. I plan to confirm with the airline but I want to be sure I get my information from someone in Ecuador before I speak with what may be temporary help on a customer service line. Thanks, John

Ecuador: Teaching English in Ecuador:

I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on this and want to say hi to everyone. My divorce is almost final and all that goes along with that has convinced me that I want a BIG change in my life. I’m a 51-year-old Californian. I don’t agree with all that goes on in California and I have long thought of making a change. One of the things I’ve been researching is teaching English in Ecuador. I've been lurking this message board, and a few others, for a few weeks and I think I'm ready to make a decision. While Cuenca seems the most desirable place due to the climate and Gringo amenities, I may not be able to find employment there so I’m considering other options. My next choice to date is Quito: http://www.languagecorps.com/locations/Ecuador_tesolplus.php My thoughts are that if I can pass this course and obtain references for work in Ecuador, I can apply for a resident visa and bring my stuff down. My brother lives in Texas and the freight from Texas to Guayaquil is reasonable for what I want to bring down. From what I have been able to research on the Interweb, most of the North American residents in Ecuador are retired. I would like to hear from people that are making a “life change” such as mine and how that is working out for you. Sincerely, JohnToGo
