Made any travel mistakes lately?

[SYD]

I made a stupid little travel mistake today but thought I had made a really big one.

We were out getting food, across the road from our accommodation when I realised I couldn't find my wallet which I was convinced I had brought with me. After much running around and pestering Security people I went back to our flat and found it on the bedside table.

I am much happier being thought slightly stupid and forgetful than have to go through all the effort of cancelling cards etc.

If it’s any consolation(?) a set of house keys went missing in a hotel room in the US and someone (not me) got very angry and thought house keeping had taken them. Why?

Turned the place upside down and no keys.

6mths later a jingle sound from a backpack and they were still there between a pocket and the inner lining!

The lesson, at the airport take the opportunity to view the Xray image to see if there any missing items!

To this day when asked “Do you know where my keys are?”…..
