Wow. Tic I loved your report. I like your "throw caution to the wind" attitude though parts ofyour travel experience I couldn't do. However I realized when you ran out of money, you faced the same situation as those who lose their money or have their money stolen. You have to figure it out and make do.
I've read everyone's comments and some of the comments further lets me know that though I love reading your trip reports and sharing of some opinions, I will not be writing one unless its full of flowers and candy and unicorns of happiness :-)
Enjoy your family and maybe now you will get your true jet lag sit and do nothing time.
