Tonight is an introvert’s evening. I had dinner on my own and I’m going to bed with a book.

But look- when we arrived at the Sheraton in Quito, I was given a suite!
I feel so fancy.

Here’s a quick tip for travellers so you can avoid the hassle Tom34 and I have had over the last 2 days.

Just before I left, I had to change my credit card as mine got hacked. This wasn’t a travel card; it was the one I basically live my life through.

I forgot to let my internet provider know. My beloved dog sitters require internet. Obviously.

I received an email notifying me that the direct debit had bounced, and if I didn’t pay, then my internet would be cut off at the end of June. Hell’s bells! I’m not back until mid July.

No matter how Tom34 and I tried to pay, they insisted on sending a text to my phone for verification.

My phone that is overseas, on an eSIM and can’t receive texts.
It was starting to be a drama, until I messaged the company on Facebook. The answer was : pay by BPay.

Tom34 was able to take care of it in seconds.

Hopefully, this will save someone from stressing. Good old BPay.

Quito tomorrow!
