So after a very lovely morning at Space Camp and then a beautiful drive through the Smoky Mountains, the day took a turn when my purse was stolen from the car during a 10min stop at a scenic overlook. We managed to cancel all the cards before they were able to use them – and they did try – but I’m currently without wallet, passports, house keys, and rental car fob. Thankfully I had my phone with me; that would truly have been catastrophic. So far it’s just been a hassle. We immediately called the cops and met with some helpful park rangers who lodged a report. I’m optimistic I’ll be able to get emergency replacement passports in Chicago next week. The fob is the really annoying part. (The car isn’t with us; it’s actually parked at my Dad’s place in Indiana.) I’m trying to figure out if I can just get a replacement fob from Thrifty, or if they’re going to want to tow the whole car back to Chicago. FUN TIMES.
Look, we’re all safe. Rodd has all his cards and keys, and so far we’re only out the $50 AUD I had in my wallet. But this is going to cost me hours of stress to fix, and no doubt some money on replacement stuff. And they got my Asian fit sunglasses, and my little Gudetama plushie, and I’m SPITTING MAD. 🤬🤬🤬🤬
Dollywood. It’s *almost* like my vacation isn’t ruined! 😬
