One last thought. My wife says I have a travel guardian angle. You can call it that, or maybe luck, or even travel karma but I have pulled off some goof stuff over the years w/o much of a plan.

I will say I did one thing on this trip that points to "travelers' karma" though. After we all got off the hotel shuttle at the airport, we headed down the walk way to the terminal. About 50 yards away it dawned on me I didn't tip the driver. I think for a min about just blowing it off. But I thought better of it and headed back to the bus. The driver was ready to help me look for whatever I had left on his bus, and was happily surprised by what I had come back for. Who knows...
