Recovering from a wallet loss

It has now been two weeks since my wallet was lost/stolen in Madrid. I now have a new wallet (which I needed anyway) and it has two credit cards and a new laundry card (which is used to control the washers and dryers in our resort laundromat). I had forgotten that I had lost that card (which I foolishly took with me on the cruise). The replacement cost $5. I also lost whatever value had remained on the lost card, which I think was probably less than $10. Still, my estimated cash loss is now $180. All due to my foolish lack of precaution. Dumb.

I have ordered replacements for 2 more credit cards, my debit card, my driver’s license and my health care card. None of those have arrived. I have not yet begun seeking replacements for my Social Security card, my Costco membership card or any of the other minor cards that I lost.

I still kick myself for being so foolish. I will be more cautious on my next trip.

UPDATE 5/15/23: I have received replacements for all my credit cards, my debit card, my driver’s license, my health insurance card and my Costco card. That is all of the really important stuff.
