We have bought a goodly amount of stuff to donate to st Anthony's. clothes, toys, etc. the bag is heavy now, and my wife asked me ... Why not just ship it ahead of us... Is this possible? It seems I read somewehere that this is more of a pain than it would sem.

I am not worried about the baggage on the flight, we get two bags each + a carry on + a personal item each, it is just turning into a lot more than I anticipated for the extended trip this time around.

Either I have never paid any attention, or just been in such a laid back fame of mind, but I have never seen mail being delivered like we have in the states.
