Just another one of my heads up this summer about my travels between the USA and Mexico and my internet, wifi, and/or DS access. The last two times I've traveled between the two countries, I have indeed had temporary trouble gaining DS access. It was resolved, though, so don't worry. I'm just letting you know ahead of time again because it's to be expected. I leave tomorrow morning, Saturday morning, and I don't want for anyone to get anxious about it. I'll be back on DS asap from Mexico on Sunday.
It rattled me so much that when I was required to insert my credit card into an automated check-in machine to print my boarding pass for my flight, I left my credit card in the machine. I had to board my flight right as soon as I realized I'd lost it, so I sweated about it for my whole flight.
Then when we landed, I got to call my credit card company and cancel that card so nobody could make any fraudulent charges. Whew! My adrenaline level is still way up there even though the credit card loss is now reported, the card is blocked, and I'm safe from any fraudulent charges. I'm still pretty jazzed up from the stress of it all. It'll take a while for me to come down.
Plus, when I passed through JFK a week ago last Saturday I had lots of drama right here. Because of weather, all flights were canceled, so hundreds of passengers like myself had to get hotel rooms around JFK all at once. It took me 8 hours to find a hotel that still had a room--in Queens, not here around JFK. I was lucky to find one at all, I know.
I'm hoping the drama for this trip is already over with--that I lost my credit card and reported it. Last Saturday's was actually a bigger deal. If something untoward's got to happen on every trip, I'll take today's as opposed to last Saturday's. Let's hope I can have my druthers on that, weather permitting.
