Around The World In 72 Days - The Close, Home

We didn't quite make it 72 days. 

We got home on Monday afternoon. We canceled the last part of our stay, another beach resort based on not wanting to take another chance on a facility I had only researched online. 

The flight home was uneventful. But whatever Ghanaian travel god subsidiary of MUPGT was stalking us while there had one last trick up their sleeve.

I go online to order an Uber. It won't take the credit card that is attached to the account. The message is "your balance is too low". What? It's a credit card, not a debit card. I book again with with the alternate card on tohe account. It says the bank has refused the charge. What? I'm going to have to enter a new credit card. It succeeds but in the mean time the price went up 110%! I'm too tired to fight this and a cab would be just as much.

Getting into the Uber, it's hot. Wife asks the driver to turn on the a/c. He claims he doesn't understand English. Then he tells us it's broken. He drives home at under the speed limit with his car shaking like there is a problem with the front end. Getting home, he refuses to get out and help us with his bags. I retaliate and don't shut his trunk as we roll the bags up to the house.

But, we get in the door, our house sitter put on the coolers for us. We're home. The saga is over.
