Made any travel mistakes lately?

[I love to travel]

Almost, but fortunately found it in time….

We are off to Frankfurt next week, one night then Zagreb the next day. I was sure I had booked accomodation at the airport, for the life of me I couldn’t find it, searched emails and credit card statements, couldn’t find anything relating to a possible booking.
Oh well, I’m getting old, must have thought I did, but hadn’t.
Prices outrageous for the Friday night, supply and demand, I guess. So booked an Accor property nearby with a shuttle, but did make it cancelable.
SWMBO mentioned a Luxury Escape booking for Maryville that we have, also part of a refund, as I had asked her to check her emails as well, normally I cc everything across to her. I thought hmmmm, brain hurts……
I checked their website and indeed there it is. I had booked Frankfurt airport as part of a refund that we had with them.
Sigh, hate getting old, but at least it is sorted, Hopefully wander out of immigration and collect bags and be in our room reasonably quickly.

MY record at Frankfort is 35 mins from plane to Hilton hotel.including immigration. Really depends on which airport hotel you are staying at

I lost my passport a few weeks ago and out of laziness and work obligations have left the passport application process for a week before my trip to Osaka to see the World Expo, figuring I could pay for expedited processing.

I now have the good luck (and even greater intelligence) of losing my citizenship certificate as well. I can't lodge my passport application without replacing the certificate first, which means not enough time before the Japan trip.

Shouldn't whinge about something I brought onto myself... on the plus side, might go to Uluru or Darwin instead, have wanted to go for years and being 'stuck' in Australia isn't that bad.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that - would be super frustrating for you. Glad to hear you can salvage a potential positive from the situation. Hope you can get the passport/certificate situation resolved without major hassle.
