Interesting story about meeting people while traveling. I took a trip in 1991 and spent three months in SE Asia. We made friends with a Swedish couple (Pele and Therese) in Thailand, and exchanged addresses. We ran into them again in Bali (what are the odds?), and they had their luggage stolen on a train, so we gave them our address again. On the flight home, I was writing in my journal, and put it in the airline seat pocket. After a 13+ hour flight, I stumbled off the plane, and forgot the journal and the plastic bag with all the small paper mementos (ticket stubs, etc.). Of course, the journal had all the addresses in it too. It was a killer to lose that journal; three months of travel notes gone. But the worst was when we got a Holiday card from Sweden, a beautiful fold-out card that looked like it cost $10, plus the postage to the US. But Pele and Therese failed to include their return address!!! When we failed to respond, they probably thought "what a couple of a-holes," but we had no way to reach them. I felt horrible all over again.
