HOW TOTALLY FRUSTRATING. situations like this make you realize how vulnerable we are without having our&nbsp; externally validated 'identity' all the while your insides are screeching " I am me. I really am. And give me some money you crazy $%#7!".<br />So glad you got home in one piece. And your boss should totally have given everyone more info about his 'homeland'!!<br />Aaargh.<br />Love u honey and again so glad you are home. You should probably write an op-ed to a Greece newspaper and put together a pamphlet for nay other colleagues traveling to Greece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1056005 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 22:34:35 +0000 deb 1056005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome home!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1055684 Fri, 18 Oct 2013 18:00:48 +0000 Anonymous 1055684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so good to hear you made it back home.

Last year they vacationed in Greece. Upon arrival in Athens, the man had his wallet stolen on the subway with money, ID &amp; credit cards. They eventually made it to their island destinations &amp; through the rest of their trip. A couple of months after arriving home, they rec'd a package from the U.S. embassy with the wallet &amp; ID, but no money. That was quite a surprise! So who knows, you're story might not be completely over...:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1054273 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:36:50 +0000 ramya 1054273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yip yåp!!!!

Although my suitcase is not... but I know where it is and it is getting delivered sometime today. &nbsp;(The connection in Paris was very tight - the people all made it but none of the luggage from the Athens flight got on the plane).<br /><div><br />Thanks everyone for all your support. &nbsp;It really means a lot to me. &nbsp;</p> <p>On the up side, now I know hopefully way more than I'll ever need about what to do when you lose your passport, money, and ID in a foreign country. &nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1054255 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 13:16:17 +0000 Freckles 1054255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Poor you Diana, my thoughts and wishes for a speedy trip home.</p> <p>I wouldn't worry about customs, the temp will work beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1053428 Wed, 16 Oct 2013 16:43:29 +0000 Neel 1053428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear god!

Diana, I'm glad you were able to get some cash and I hope that everything else is getting sorted out so you can get back home tomorrow. I can only imagine how upsetting this would be! I love travel, but I get stressed about the possibility of losing or forgetting things, so I could practically feel your fear and frustration just reading about the ordeal. </p> <p>I've never even though of making a copy of my passport to keep separate from my actual one when I travel, but I'm going to start doing that now. I recently got my Global Entry pass, which I suppose would help, but I think having that copy with you was very smart. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/lost-my-passport-in-greece-argh/page/2#post-1052204 Tue, 15 Oct 2013 12:53:48 +0000 Sarah A 1052204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my!
