Sorry to hear of your (mis)adventure but glad to know BOTH of your best decisions were the right ones. Hopefully you will be fully recovered and able to return to collect your own luggage very soon.

And huge kudos to your wife for handling all she had to deal with along with the fact of her soulmate being so very ill. I've had to stand in similar shoes though not in a foreign country with language barriers, and it isn't always easy. WOMAN POWER!! There's nothing like it....<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
