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.

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

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,
