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

Thu Feb 19 09:52:20 PST 2009

Carlos:

Lo que yo entendí es que va a haber  alguien con el logo de ISOC esperando
que uno llegue.  Esa persona se supone que nos lleve hasta el "booth" de los
taxis y nos ayude a obtenerlo. Si esto no fuera asi, podemos seguir las
instracciones de Alex. Lo importante es no montarse con nadie que no sea uno
de estos taxis autorizados.

Espero que esto ayude.
