Rafael, THANKS for the objective reply and link to a thread for which I have been searching. Esperamos que todo está bien para usted y los suyos en Caracas.

Thanks Rafael and Yorktown, From what I've read in the lengthy Canadian thread, a USA billing address and USA phone# and credit card attached to that billing address will suffice. Installation is not a problem. Looking for successful experiences, thanks.
