[pct-l] camera - mailing

I would suggest just mailing the memory cards and charger/battery Priority
Mail, Fed Ex, UPS  by the fastest method possible. Will be safer and more
certain to arrive.

Mailing in California should not be a problem because there are post offices
at every stop (but do check on current Post Office hours). However, Oregon
may be a problem because you really don't have easy access to Post Offices
for mailing out packages (UPS is standard). The resort owners may ship
something for you, but it may not be on your time table. Washington may also
pose problems for the same reason.
