I took a nasty fall this weekend and cant remember much now
Its been 20 years since I drove around the country. I didnt have a credit card then.
I was on a tight budget for this trip and had just enough on the card for gas. Had pocket cash for whatever. Well when you put your CC into the pump, the gas station itself can put any authorization amount they want on the pump. Even if your only getting $30 worth of gas if your card isnt able to take the authorization amount you get rejected.
So if pump was set at $150 and you had less than that available...no go.
Ended up spending all my pocket cash on gas.
Dont fold tent wet was another one. I had no choice on that really. It rained everyday.
For October trip I will pay a big chunk of that card and get another one as well.
There was other small stuff but i cant remember. I crashed at a friends house this past friday, thought I was going to take a leak in the middle of the night. What I thought was the bathroom was actually 18 steps. I walked right into the abyss.
