How can I send an Armory transaction without first downloading whole blockchain?

I'm going to South America soon on a vacation without access to fast internet and I'll only take my smartphone with me.

If, in the unlikely scenario that the bitcoin price rallies to $10k or $20k, I want to be able to do this:

  • Run to a store, buy two laptops. One offline and one online. Open up the offline computer, remove the wifi chip.
  • On the online laptop, download my encrypted Armory wallet from DropBox. Burn the encrypted wallet, as well as Armory, on a CD and bring it to the offline computer.
  • Using the normal Armory methodology, broadcast a transaction to send some of my bitcoins to my exchange account so I can sell them, without having to download the whole blockchain on the online computer (because that could take months on the slow internet).

Does Armory allow me to do this somehow?
