I follow Kate cos she calls a spade a spade, and I like that in a woman.
Shes a Kiwi, journo working in Hong Kong.
Shes been to Los Angeles for the weekend:
Todays posts ...
Yes, I am stuck in Los Angeles without my passport that was taken along with my (underinsured as there are so many insurance exemptions) carry on bag thrown from the hotel shuttle bus I assume on one of the stops before me.
Lesson learned - never use shuttle buses.
Lesson still learned - other people are c***s for not returning the bag. Another reason why I have little faith in fellow man.
Now shall be living my worst nightmare trying to get new travel documents.A refinement on the Cactus Kate "rules to travel by"!
It will start with - ditching the standard black luggage and going for as brighter colours as possible so you know when your bag has been thrown in the wrong pile. The thief may spot it sooner but then so do you when the thief takes off with it.
Oh....and shopping for one of those (previously deemed) gay strap bags where passport, tickets and cash can be stored.
It's a wee bit of a lesson for a girl whose only substantial loss to date was that of virginity.
