I caused a self inflicted problem…. The short version: we got to the ship and I didn’t have my passport!! I remembered that I set it on my seat on the airplane when we boarded in Calafate. A Viking rep went with us back to the airport in hopes of finding my passport!! Argh!! Fat chance, is what I thought. We went to the airline ticket counter and their cleaners did not find it. Airline agent recommended we go to the police office. A 10 minute walk and police did not find it, but….. They suggested we check at the police office near the ticket counter….. They had it !!! That saved an all day visit to the American Embassy to get a temporary passport.
The cab driver waited at the airport and when we got back to the ship the fare was only $12…. I gave him a nice tip!
