Oh gosh, knocking on wood here my passport has never been misplaced while traveling (inside my house, on the other hand… eyeroll!)

Ah, the old “hiding things in the hotel room” gag… which in my case always ends up being hiding something from myself. Lol!

Ah, Becky, my scatterbrained spirit animal. So nice to know I’m not the only one who can’t hold onto an important document to save her life.

Yeah, I had a few friendly encounters with the Hawaii PD on this trip — I was very impressed with their friendly aloha spirit. Thanks for reading!

Sounds like this is a common thread in this comments section! Lesson learned: don’t move abroad with an expired license!

Omg, that sounds like a nightmaaaaare. Freshman year shame is the worst kind, ha ha. There’s no relief like reaching into your bag and touching your passport after having a panic its not there. So glad you made your flight!

Indeed! At least I’d already had a fantastic few weeks in Hawaii… I certainly wasn’t short on time there (painful as it was.)

That’s suchhhh a hassle! I’d be like, can you take the cash and I’ll keep the cards!? Haha I guess most muggers don’t let you negotiate. Glad you were safe and had a fab trip regardless!

Wow, what a good Samaritan! That’s a great story… definitely would have been a great meet cute if that was a movie 😉
