Marcio - So good to hear from you again. Hope you are doing well. It may have cost you a great deal of money, but at least, you will be able to advise other people about your own outcome. I wonder if the reason their new palidectomy is not recognized over the world, is because of the feeling between U.S. and Cuba. Just a thought. Best to you.
