Shipping

Probably not, meaning Guayaquil storage probably wouldn't be a great idea if you have another option.

Can you answer these questions for yourself...

1.  Will I need to be there personally to move the 4 by 4 through customs and into storage?

2.  Do I have a way to get it to the storage facility?

3.  Do I know a reliable storage facility?

4.  Do i know the storage costs?

5.  Do I know the hidden costs?

6.  Do I want to be tied to Guayaquil -- Ecuador's hottest, most humid, most dangerous large city?

7.  What if Ecuador doesn't work out for me -- will I have wasted money on international shipping and storage ?

Hey C.C.
Why all these difficult Q's? I don't think I was able to answer one !
OK. Sooo ,that wasn't a viable alternative. I'll store the unit here and ship to Guayaquil (is there another choice ? ) near to the end of my 3 month house-sit. I'll try for the 9.1 Visa while house-sitting dependent upon laser surgery situation. Are you aware of 'Murphy's Law'.? Anyway, I'll try to not to plan tooo far ahead and just sort of 'roll with the punches'
No more Q.'s for now...
