WOW!!!!! All I can say.... I mean honestly I have shuffled teenagers throughout Europe without any sort of issues... especially like the one I have had today... getting me to Norway!
YES... I, in a hurried and ignorant rush, depart the plane with my carry on and the camera and bolt to the baggage claim. I am relieved to see my luggage make it and I head out to figure out how I am going to get into town. I meet a very nice lady at the information desk who advises me to take an ASA white bus on platform 17B which will have its final stop right at my hotel. I hurry to get to the bus which was leaving in 10 minutes. I successfully purchase my ticket from the driver, load my luggage and take the front seat (in order not to miss anything). About 10 minutes into the 30 minute ride it hits me... I just left all of my travel documents on the plane! HOLY @%#$%!!!!!!!!! I am not even kidding! Every voucher for every hotel, my trains, my ferries... EVERYTHING!
After a moment of hyperventilating ... I call my amazing travel agent! At first things looked grim... I mean honestly, everything I left on the plane ... I mean... what was I going to do????? Long story short... I have to call the airport tomorrow (it is almost midnight now) and see if the packet of documents makes it to lost and found in the Oslo airport... RIGHT! In the meantime, my amazing agent whom I mentioned earlier was on the phone nonstop, getting all documents scanned and within an hour or so had things emailed to me! It appears that the only thing I will have to "repurchase" is my train tickets! So several hundred dollars FLUSHED! Yet again, my amazing agent emails me saying that he found in the fine print of my travel insurance a $500.00 coverage on lost documents... so it appears that I may be able to recoup my lose! WOW!!
So on the advice of my agent.. I did go to the rooftop "Summit" bar and restaurant to look out at the sunset. That I did!!! it is now 11:30pm and the sun is just now beginning to fade beyond sight! I am exhausted! I have to get up and spend my one full day in Oslo at the train station and with the concierge to make sure I have everything taken care of!! I am so hoping I will have time to take in at least a few sights!
So for tonight.... God Natt!!!
