Wow, that sounds like the ultimate scramble! Having to rely on fading phone batteries, old emails, and a last-minute call to a consulate must have felt like an emotional rollercoaster.

It’s crazy how something as small as a flicker of WiFi or a random phone connection can become the difference between getting home or facing major setbacks.

This definitely serves as a reminder to keep multiple backups of important documents, especially when crossing borders.

Thanks for sharing this wild experience!
