replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz I'd be food ššš my sister is the same. I don't have any meds or things like glasses to worry about. I'd be a bit lost without my phone but more of an inconvenience than actual danger #PTTravel

A4. I'm very good at finding things others have left behind. Water bottles, phone chargers, sunglasses. Like a womble. #pttravel

A1 (further) #pttravel Nearly forgot! Went on a cruise; packed my DJ, but didn't pack a bow tie! Fortunately, I was able to borrow one from the Maitre D.
BudgetBreakBlog
replying to @bigfatheadz @bigfatheadz @kate_frankie š I didn't think of this essential! Reminds me of the time I drove 5 hours with one eye shut because one of my contact lenses ripped on a weekend away. Always pack extras folks! #pttravel

replying to @TIBTraveller @TIBTraveller Would probably depend on what was lost or left behind. I think I would only try to recover an item in a remote area if I was desperate. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie @vickyinglis13 I'm working on a fantasy adventure novel where a lot of the places are based on places I've been and adventures I've had, though? And one of the characters is basically a female version of me ... #pttravel

A5 I haven't lost anything when I've gone to more remote places. Maybe I'm more careful or carry less?
I'd never be gone for long so anything can be replaced when you get to a city

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith ...... I have never worn a bow-tie nor ever been in a situation where I would need to. #pttravel We move in very different circles ... :p

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6: Donāt get stressed out about it. Everything is replaceable even a passport. As mentioned by some before, have a copy of your passport in every bag and you will survive. people are helpful even if you donāt speak the language! #pttravel

Advice for travelers on lost items?: Don't take anything important to you to begin with? Maybe keep a list of what you are taking? Double check your hotel room before leaving? #pttravel

replying to @BudgetBreakBlog @BudgetBreakBlog @bigfatheadz My friend had a bloodshot eye one day and when I asked he said his contact lense split and caused the irritation. Looked sore! Anything with eye trauma makes me š¤¢ #PTTravel

#pttravel I realise this is a lot harder to do than to say.
It's frustrating to lose something, I know this, oh yes, I know this. But, yeh ... if it doesn't stop you travelling, it's fine.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @BudgetBreakBlog @bigfatheadz I'm very squeamish about eyes. This is why i don't do contact lenses. And look away if someone puts them in / takes them out their eyes! #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith I wonder if I need anything formal on the ship to Antarctica š¤Øš¤ it looks pretty casual but it will be Christmas/NYE too #PTTravel

#pttravel I lost a taxi once. Like, I came through a border checkpoint and it had buggered off without me.
It did come back about half an hour later, but still.
Had my luggage in it too!
BudgetBreakBlog
replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A6 #pttravel my advice would be to have a plan in place for the loss of the main essentials. Always carry extras in different places, like a photocopy of your passport or an emergency credit card. Everything can be replaced (even your passport) so don't sweat it!
