Monday 26th Aug (bank holiday to the rest of us
just a few hours before the journey begins
Still have to sort a problem out regarding getting past USA customs (yes they are just like UK only worse)
I eventually received my tracking account ID from the Canadian company Trackamap who seem to take “avoiding the customer via no information on website” to Olympic heights. Website is very right on and fascionista. Unfortunately the email containing tracking detail was in the same graphics style and it was almost impossible to read the codes. Well done millenials triumph of form over function.
Then had to register with a global rescue outfit (another $20) hell, paying is the easy bit. The difficult bit is filling in the forms. Do you ever get the feeling that all this electronic form filling makes life harder rather than easier? And then there’s a password for making a cup of tea.
So 2 hours gone and nothing done
Oh just for a laugh one of the forms wanted the IMEI number from the satellite device. Where’s the manual and docs with the info? At the bottom of the suitcase.
Well it never was going to be like going on a package holiday. And if anyone says ‘did you enjoy your holiday?’ I just might scream.
