Normally, I lug all my gear with me everywhere, but I'm leaving the States and heading to the UK and Italy for a few months, where I won't be doing any diving, and then heading to Bonaire for 2-3 months starting in Mid-December. I really don't want to be carrying a big checked suitcase with all my dive stuff through multiple airports, trains, etc.
So I was thinking about the possibility of having someone in California ship my stuff out to me in Bonaire. A couple quick checks with UPS and FedEx look pretty expensive, but I'm sure there are a lot of other options for people in the know. And I figured the people in the know might congregate here.
Anyone have any good ideas, recommendations, referrals to shipping services? Time isn't of the essence - I have a lot of time to get stuff there, and hopefully I could arrange for the dive-op to store it for me if it arrives before I do.
Any thoughts?
