The Dean Posted October 6, 2009 Posted October 6, 2009 What exactly do you do for a living again? At the time, I was a consultant for TV stations and networks. That trip was a weird one. I got to The W Hotel and had no credit card (it was at home with my photo ID). I got the hotel to check me in anyway, and a colleague put my room on her card when she arrived. The day before I left, I drank my way all over Honolulu in search of fake ID. I was offered a card for $200, but passed. I finally found a check cashing place that had photo cards for $10. By that time I was pretty trashed and had spent a ton of cash on the quest. But it was more fun than just plunking it down on the first offer.

Jim in Anchorage Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 I flew from Buffalo to DC without photo ID....I forgot it at home....took a while to get through security, but they still let me fly I dragged this up in light of current events. How would they know if you are on the"no fly" list?
KD in CA Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Good tips, particularly about photo copying the contents of your wallet. A atm ate my card once and where's the # I call? Why on the card the machine ate, of course. Definitely have a photocopy of your passport that someone can fax to you if needed. If you get stranded in the US you can always find alternate means of transportation, but in a foreign country it could be a major problem.
