    Need US legal documents, POA, notarized

    Don't know what you need it for but I was able to get a US title/escrow company to accept a local notary from Costa Rica a few years ago and I expect they'd be even more willing to take it during COVID.

    Western Union money transfer

    TLDR: 76.395 is a great rate. Thanks for sharing this opportunity and some details on how I overcame browser trouble. Just want to throw a successful data point out there for anyone that's still on the fence. I hadn't used Western Union before and initially got an error message but it went...

    Wife and I just moved here and are looking forward to attending tomorrow. I'm also a Frapuccino addict so appreciate the location choice.
