Smart Phone Travel Tips

If only I would have found smartphone travel tips article before my last vacation.  No…Nothing like losing my smartphone would ever happen to me because I am so careful.  Wrong!  While I was loading the car up with take out food at Firehouse Subs.  I set my smartphone and wallet on the back of the truck and forgot about it.  I drove a mile back to the hotel and realized I did not have my phone or wallet.  I looked and it was not on the back of the truck.  I hopped back into the truck and retraced my route back to the restuarant.  I even went into the Firehouse Subs to speak to the manager and the manager came outside and helped me look.  That was very kind of her.  We did not see it.  All I could think about was the cash, credit cards and personal info on my cellphone were going to be used.  I drove back to the hotel and pulled into the parking lot and there in the middle of the parking lot was my wallet, smartphone and cash spread out over about 15 feet.  I couldn’t believe it!  It was probably laying there for about 30 minutes and nobody touched it!  What a relief.  I called the Firehouse Subs to let the manager know I found it.  She was still out in the parking lot looking for my phone and wallet!  I wish I could remember her name.  This incident happened on Saturday August 5, 2017 in Pineville, NC.  I hope the manager can see this and I would like to know her name so I can thank her.
