There should be no problem in San Juan either. I don't
know why unless it is that they haven't finished setting up the system for managing
per diem. But it's quite easy - set up a room, have the US cash, let everyone
line up and sign a receipt for the $$. Should not be hard at all. It's much
more difficult to run the bank transfer process, sending funds to multiple
countries etc.

I AGREED with Alice about the per diem. I'm one of the poor ones who cannot easily find $800 US in a couple of weeks. I've already brought it up as a problem with the travel staff. However, the UN uses this system, and a lot of orgs follow the UN system with regard to travel.
My
company uses the UN system.
There
is nothing that prevents advance payment of at least a certain percentage
of the per-diem. Since we will all be in the same location, it could be done in
cash in the local currency upon arrival (unless staff tells me that this is
unfeasible ofr sume reason, like currency regulations of the host country).
There should be no problem in implementing this in Los Angeles in October, for
instance.
Cheers,
