Footnote … in November I could do $500 american on an ATM withdrawal. I just feel on edge … paper money sure feels secure.

Can I please bore you with one more heads up … we all hear now that we do not have to advise our banks of time out of the country. I did miss a beat on not including my debit card in thailand. Survived.

You need to know … I was very prepared to error on the side of caution. I went to pay my deposit at the hotel upon arrival … all good. I then went to pay for car rental … declined. I had plan for 100 minutes that got eaten up asking "what". Only 15 minutes … to ask they release hold. The moral of the story … I will let them know so that I have recourse. On that note, I'm stepping off my soapbox and looking forward to January. Love, peace, warmth, joy … and let loose. xo
