My husband and I went to Puerta Vallarta for our anniversary in November. Our first full day there we went swimming with dolphins; we took a cab from our hotel to the excursion area. We just got out of the cab and were walking into the registration area when I realized I had left my purse in the cab. My credit cards, passport, drivers license, room key (100 dollar replacement fee), anti-depressants (which make you very sick if you come off them cold turkey), and paperwork necessary to leave Mexico were ALL in my purse. I freaked out. They didn't have a phone book in the registration office, so we couldn't call our hotel. My hubby explained to the girl in the office what had happened, so she called her company office and got the phone number to our hotel and explained to the concierge what had happened. In Puerta Vallarta, cabs will return to the hotel/area that they started at that day, so thankfully the cab went back to the hotel. After an agonizing fifteen minute wait, the girl told us they had found the cab driver and he was on the way back with my purse. I can't believe I had been so careless, and my purse didn't leave my side the rest of the trip. However, it was a testimony to the helpful nature and generosity that we continued to experience while we were there. Our trip could have turned into a disaster but turned out great.
