Today was STRESSFUL!

We were due to fly back to Melbourne today for Rob's tournament tomorrow and work on Monday. Except our passports were missing. I took them to a copy shop yesterday and didn't realise until today that I'd left them there. Normally the shop is open on Saturdays, but it was closed today. And the owner couldn't be contacted by phone. Thoughts of stolen passports and forgeries crossed our minds. We had until two hours before our flight to find the passports - after that we could no longer transfer the flights to a different day. The two-hour mark came but no joy, so we canceled our tickets and arranged to fly back once we had found our passports or got new ones. Not long after that the shop owner got in touch - he had been on a course all day and had been rejecting incoming calls on his mobile. He had the passports. It was too late for us to get back on tonight's flight. And tomorrow night's flight is fully booked. So looks like we will be here until Monday night. At least the passports were found. If we'd had to get urgent passports for the two of us it could have been a very expensive trip!
