Just saw this post as I have not been on much lately. HOW TOTALLY FRUSTRATING. situations like this make you realize how vulnerable we are without having our externally validated 'identity' all the while your insides are screeching " I am me. I really am. And give me some money you crazy $%#7!".
So glad you got home in one piece. And your boss should totally have given everyone more info about his 'homeland'!!
Aaargh.
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.

I'm glad it all finally worked out for you. I'm always so paranoid about being out of the country and losing my passport. It's good to know that it can be resolved fairly quickly with a little help.

Sorry, late to this thread. OMG. What an ordeal! I'm glad you are back safe at home. Ugh I am so mad at those thieves! But glad you are safe and sound. Hugs!!!
