So, either you got wrong information, or I had God's divine favor, once again. Hopefully, you will be able to get three 70 lb bags on board without any difficulty too.<br />Best to you,<br />Linda<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-31368713165965023792013-10-07T09:33:57.020-07:002013-10-07T09:33:57.020-07:00Yes, Carolyn,

However, if any of those bags are overweight up to 70 pounds, then the charge should have been $100 per overweight bag - if any weigh in between 71 and 100 pounds, then it's $200 per. Bags over 100 pounds are not allowed.TerryEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-31391658399785598052013-10-06T09:49:07.353-07:002013-10-06T09:49:07.353-07:00I love the picture of Cuenca, air so clear, clouds...I love the picture of Cuenca, air so clear, clouds so beautiful!

I too did not see this on the website, but this is the information I received from a person. I'd suggest you call American Airlines to confirm this for yourself. It worked for us! Hope your journey back to Ecuador is luxuriously confortable and you have smooth sailing too.<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-68459661715030813252013-10-04T07:41:21.059-07:002013-10-04T07:41:21.059-07:00Thanks, Steve and Mary,

We received our residency visas in May of this year. This allows us 90 days out of country through May 2014. The second year of residency begins again May 2014, at which time we are allowed another 90 days through May 2015. So, we still have a few weeks left for going out of country. We hadn't been back to the USA since our initial arrival in December, and once we obtained our residency, it was our plan to return so we could bring back things we now knew we needed. So we did! I hope this clears things up for you. <br />Stay in touch and best to you as you plan your "very soon" transition to Ecuador.<br />LindaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03218571411311922097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8831951504205975496.post-4843350842313832882013-10-03T18:00:00.095-07:002013-10-03T18:00:00.095-07:00Welcome home - it is a great feeling when you get ...Welcome home - it is a great feeling when you get back to your own place...<br /><br />But, of course, I am confused/concerned about your two month adventure. As I understand it, during your first two years in Ecuador, you are only allowed to be out of the country for three months. As I know that you have not been in Ecuador very long, why did you decide to use up two of these three months so early into your two years?<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Denise<br />Charlotte NC<br />(Ecuador, soon, very soon, I hope)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
