Crazy turn of events when I was about to board my plane for Portugal. It’s so unlike me to do this.

Me and my husband went thru security at the airport. We stopped on a bench to put our shoes back on. There was some of the gray trays they use on the bench. ( you know the ones you put your stuff in to scan). Then we got up to walk to the waiting area to board our plane to go home. I asked my husband for his paper ticket. All of a sudden he realized he didnt have it. We ran back to security area and checked the trays by the belt for it. Not there. All of a sudden I thought of the bench. We went there nothing, until I picked up one of the trays on top of another, and there was my husbands drivers license and boarding pass. He had put it in the tray to put his shoes on, and someone put a tray on top of his tray. Usually it is in the most obvious places. ( unless it is stolen of course) Luckily we found it in time. Sorry you didnt get to go on your trip. What a bummer. Hopefully you will be able to go another time.
Thank you for setting a good example of how we should handle a situation like this. God Bless.
My sister and I found that neck fan this summer Lov Lov ❤ just watch your hair does not get caught in the back 😮
I so appreciate that you keep political opinions out of your YouTube videos.
Girl! I’m just proud of you for wanting to go on such a big adventure by yourself! You will get there just be patient. Everything happens for a reason, I am a firm believer in that theory. Maybe go get your puppy now 😊it will help with healing more than you realize my friend.
No such thing as a virtual passe partout / some illegal will stay in U.S.A .🎄🏡
The universe saved you from something- There was definitely a Unknown reason to be thankful 👍
Hot mess comes to mind….. good luck.
Stay with your sister and family for the holidays! Maybe go to AZ after the new year to spend winter ❄️ I’m sure your sister would love to have you there to celebrate Christmas.
Omgosh, I am so sorry you are going through this! I agree with others. Things happen for a reason, and I excited to see what your future holds!!
I use my fan too! I got mine from Amazon and it’s PERFECT for outdoor events.
It was a LIFE SAVER in Vegas last summer.
Character building is what I always say. Bummer
I lost my passport after a cruise. It sucks. I’m so sorry. I too am not prone to loose anything. 😢
You are such a lovely person I sincerely wish you a wonderful time wherever you are 🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏❤️
It’s such a shock to the system when you are such a responsible person and something like this happens. Just remember to take lots of deep breaths. You may never figure out exactly what happened. Take some downtime to regroup and do not beat up on yourself. You may have been pickpocketed. You will survive this. Carry on.
Really sad for you.
Oh Amber, that always happens to me, last time it was a plane ticket… omg and I found it in my backpack after the fact. Maybe you will find it. But Arizona for sure, or New Mexico
Why do I feel like you really didn't want to go. You are usually a very organized person. Interesting. Sorry your trip didn't happen. Have a great week!
Amber it was stolen out of your pocket. Pickpocket is real. You wouldn't even know. Sorry honey bunny!
everything happens for a reason , many times , some problems ended up being a blessing in my life. Safe travels🤗💕
There is a bit of wisdom in backpacking that if you have something important hanging on your backpack tie it on tight lest it fall on the trail behind you never to be seen again.
Maybe you loss it in vehicle you rode to in airport! Hopefully you get another passport soon!
At 14:50 minutes, try not to be too hard on yourself. Things happen sometimes…. I'll pray 🙏 for you.
Bummer 😞 something similar happened to a friend, we were taking an overseas trip, he somehow left for the airport without his passport…I arrived to the hotel and had to wait a couple of hours because it was booked in his name only…he arrived the next day on a standby flight that I believe cost him a couple thousands too… eventually we shook off that annoying start and had a great time…glad you got all your points back to maybe go at a later time 🛀
How heartbreaking you took it better than me. I would have been boo hooing
How disappointing for you! My heart goes out to you Amber. One door closes and 10,000 more open so don't give up on your next big adventure. Hang in there!
I think someone picked your pocket
I'm so sorry, how very disappointing!! Things have happened to me in the past and afterwards I realized I was protected! I think you just may have been saved from something!! Maybe God's looking after you!!!
Make sure you rotate your feet a lot to prevent blood clots on long flights. ❤
Menopausal brain. Forgetfulness, sleep issues and a multitude other issues. You probably should be around family and friends more often. 50 something yr olds aren't spring chickens anymore. Have to give up some of your independence. Happens to all of us!
Amber – a long time ago, I lost my driver's license. I was a driver – so couldn't work. Then I had to fly across country. Thankfully – it was before all the restrictions on flying – and so they accepted a non-driver's license ID for me to fly. Years later I realized God had protected me. I KNOW that I KNOW He did. It is kind of like when you drive on a road and you got out late so you missed the GIANT pileup that you would have been in. So while you may not understand why this didn't work – God does as He sees the end from the beginning. And I am thankful you didn't lose points. The planning, the orchestrating – was NOT in vain. Now you will be ready when it is actually time. – whether with an expedited passport or not Please do not be discouraged. Hopefully you also have lifelock or something to protect yourself from identity theft – just on the off chance that someone bad found it. Praying for your decisions and for you to have peace. Love your channel and I was one of those who for the longest time was not subscribed. I guess because I have a ton of subscriptions – I would miss videos and I found that when I didn't – they would actually show up on the youtube feed page because I like and comment. But I know it blesses you and your channel so finally did a couple of videos ago!
Holy cow, Amber! I'm so sorry that this happened. UGH!! I try to believe all things happen for a reason but I would be so disappointed.
Finally got a chance to finish watching…Amber…hun…don't ever think that if you forget or lose something that your being "irresponsible" because your not. Things happen, sorry it happened but thinking negatively about yourself for something like hat is not necessary :)! I'm planning on going to Quartzsite this winter so I hope you DO go there and I get to meet you! I'm planning on my first car life journey, going there and Palm Springs for the first time!
Amber I've been watching you and Lilly for a few years, you are my hero. I took the plunge and rented a van from Outdoorsy, this will be my first RV/Van adventure. I'm flying from the midwest to Phoenix AZ, driving up to Prescott and staying in a campground, not bold enough to boondock yet. Note: Portugal is my dream international destination.
I am SO Sorry!!! What a let down for you. Maybe a “pick pocket” person took it? I hope you’ve forgiven yourself & find a New Adventure that will also bring you Joy!
Wow! Absolute bummer! 😏😞 I hope you've regrouped to your satisfaction…under the circumstances. Stay safe out there. 🕊
Ahhh it’s sad but just roll with it!!
Since nobody turned in your passport, I suspect you may have been pick pocket. If I walk a lot, sometimes the back pocket items go up and that would be enticing to those pickers.
I recommend fanny packs for traveling.
I almost couldn't even watch this because it's so sad. At least you didn't have an airbnb booked in Portugal. I hope you can make new plans and get to Portugal soon. You're a trooper! Good luck with everything.
You were such a good sport about this unfortunate event. I would have been a mess. I believe you'll get there and it will be wonderful when you do.
Hi Amber, I’m so sorry this happened to you. As Emy Hewitt mentioned in her comment I also believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason. It’s still a bummer for sure. I just got back from a couple of trips (via airplane) and traveling is very stressful for most ppl. Even the experienced traveler. In the event you do travel by airplane in the future here’s s a tip regarding the travel pillow. Put the thicker( the snap in the back) part in the front!!! Makes a world of difference. 😊😊 I love the info about the AirTags, though. I’ve never heard of them. Thank you. Please stay safe.
For some reason you weren’t meant to go to Portugal right now… you gotta trust what happened was for your higher good!❤ I had a similar experience still not sure why it happened.
Well that just sucks, I'm sorry you had such bad luck, i am a true believer things happen for a reason, you may just not see why at this point.
You are such a negative drama queen. Always something wrong!!!
Thinking of you, hugs
