Hi Bob
I ususally go there every three months and don't have a problem but one time when i moved there for a few months, my friend and i couldn't bring everything on the plane with us so we sent it with american airlines, when we went to pick it up we did alot of running around, it is good to have someone you trust with you who speaks spanish, we finally got our stuff and because it has to clear their customs, they search for things to make sure there is nothing illegal, well we did alot of tipping and when we got our stuff to the appartment a few items were missing, in all of the confusion they may have been left behind/possibly stolen but i don't like to accuse that, but luckily for us we packed those bags with less valuables. that's the best way, the items missing were toothpaste, brushes, deoderant,things like that. other than that i have had no other problems when i have my regular luggage with me. hope that was some help, massei
