Emotional goodbyes and a bathroom run I won't soon forget

We arrived safely in guayaquil last night, phsically and emotionally weary from a long day of traveling and painful goodbyes from family and close friends. And, of course, there was that moment in the waiting area of gate 27 when Anne Nelson realized that she didn't have her passport that had been hanging around her neck all morning. We frantically back tracked through security and then to a bathroom on the main concourse to discover that the cleaning lady had picked it up and was on her way out when Anne Nelson ran in.
