And sometimes life kicks you in the face...

Just when I thought I was untouchable. Just when I thought the gods smiled upon me like no other. Just when I thought I was gonna get out of Peru unscathed.
I thought wrong.
Sitting at the airport in Lima waiting to board my delayed flight to Santiago is the least of my problems right now. Let's recap the last two hours. I came to the airport with plenty of time to check in and pay my departure fee and say good bye to my friend before taking off to Stgo. Regretfully two minutes after I paid my departure fee I realized my wallet that I just used was either stolen or lost but either way long gone. None of the security or cops were willing to review the videos that were being filmed in the controlled area and no one turned my wallet in. I truly fucked up by first off having every single dollar or euro or soles I owned in my wallet along with both my credit and debit cards. Everything. The cardinal rule I normally always follow is to only keep some cash on me and just one card.
Why the fuck did I have it all?
My fucking bad.
And now it gets more confusing potentially really bad.
When I enter into Chile I have to pay a $131 fee that all Americans have to pay upon arrival. Since I no longer have a single dollar or credit card on me its going to make shit real difficult when I get there.
Luckily I have an Mexican in my life and hopefully she'll be at the airport waiting to save my day.

And now I just got called up to the agents desk and they moved me to business class to keep a family together where I was sitting.

Sometimes the gods smile just a little...let's hope it gets better and better.

And if anyone is curious the wallet contained about $400 and one NY identification card I really loved and my debit and credit card. Ugh.
