Hello everybody!!

As you know (or maybe not) there is an embargo season from airlines that come from the US (and maybe from other countries too) to Ecuador. I know that some people move here just with what can fit in suitcases (many suitcases!) But, if there is an embargo, you might not be able to bring your extra luggage (not even by paying extra fees) So, please check these sites and see if this might affect you!
