It didn't mean to make light of your problems, not at all. It's just that is so much the way I travel, I always figure that I must need to see something more when I have to double back or wait or get completely lost.
I giggled because your story reminds me of me. Thanks again for sharing it.
Hahaha, I absolutely know how you meant your comment @bigtom13! It's what I try to tell others: "Traveling is always worth it, because even the bad moments turn into awesome stories which you'll be able to tell for the rest of your life!" :D All those little "Why didn't I think of that before" and "Does this REALLY happen to ME?" moments are worth it <3 I know you appreciate it too :D
