I recommend also taking a picture of your boarding pass as well after you
get the print-out.
Do you have a print out of the QR code associated with the Cuban
electronic form? Again, I also recommend that you take a picture if
you haven't downloaded to Gail's phone already.
If, for some reason, you are unable to find Renier Rodriguez in the
Havana airport, I recommend that you buy a SIM card in the airport and
call him.
Finally, I recommend that you download this email to Gail's phone.
Printing it to a PDF file, sending it via Session, and then
downloading (saving) it on Gail's phone would be the easiest.
