[Chapter-delegates] UPDATE : Mexico Logistics - note on Taxi'sfrom the Airport.

[Carlos Vera Quintana]

Estimado Alex, Ana Sanchez participara por ISOC Ecuador en Mexico. Entendia que iba a haber personal para llevarlos del aeropuerto al hotel y apoyar en este traslado. Perdon si me perdi algo.

Puedes indicarnos con quien se coordina esto?

Gracias por tu ayuda y perdona si no esta a tu alcance la informacion solicitada

Carlos

Thanks, Alejandro, for this valuable advise!





See you soon in Mexico!





(I am so anxious to try the local cuisine, I am crazy about Mexican food!)





Warm regards,
Dessi
