If you ship one make sure you ship it with plenty of time to get there, as they can get "lost" enroute. I had a machine I had shipped to me and it went to WA and sat a while before I finally got it. Myself I would buy a cheap one while there and leave it, because let's face it stuff gets lost, stuff get damaged sometimes to the tune of nothing left of it.
