We bought glasses for the tables and plan on carrying them on the plane. Assuming you do not know anyone down there, you could ask your WC if they would allow you to ship it ahead of time. Although TA Maureen told me they do not really like to do that, put the responsibility of getting the package and keeping it safe until you get there. And then there is always the $$ of sending it down, I am sure it would be super expensive. I plan on having my mom and cousins carry a few things on...spreading the wealth! ha!
