"A hug speaks louder than words"
A reminder of common sense, consideration of others, discussion of boundaries, and the fact that everything anyone does has a ripple effect will
hopefully diminish anxiety and reinforce safey for all.

Dad still hasn't contacted me.
I did get a frustrating phone call from a SD Investigator...essentially she said that because he is in Mexico, they can't help me. "We're not going to
go down there to look for him"
Ok, Ms. Detective, so you called me why???

Cynthia....Did he mention to your uncle his whereabouts or contact information? Probably not, but I'm just asking.
Did you post your phone number here or on CL? Was the investigator with the police, or private?
Just hang in there. Something will come forward.

Yes, I would imagine that this was the transaction before the ATM ate his card

Good news all around it seems for folks trying to meet up with family down in Mexico. In hopes of helping out, I might add that it seems that the
separate mindsets of North of the Border families versus South of the Border families often leads to poor communication when time and resources are
short. I have a theory about this and a solution, it seems that NOB people are used to having long casual conversations via email and phone while
those traveling down south don't often have cell signal, credit, internet access etc... furthermore, those who are out of their element down south can
not not answer clearly such as where are you, is there a western union and what do you need to receive money, where are you going etc... so when the
connection is finally made, two separate mindsets and modes offer little clear communication, consensus or resolution.
I have learned to think about this in advance and write down very specific questions that I will ask/answer when we connect. This helps to get to the
point in a few seconds and get an answer.
Over the years I have spent way too much time, trying to connect with a family member or friend, who is likely standing behind a palm tree a few feet
away or perhaps a thousand miles away, but due to regional whimsical differences and unclear communications there is often a disconnect.
Ask simple direct questions with one word answers. Do you need help? Where are you? Are you eating ok? Would you like to come home? Are you going
north or south? Where will be on x date? Can we send money to the western union there for you? Where will you be staying exactly and for how long?
Will you promise to call again on x date and time.
Solutions to lost banking cards are:
Send a replacement with a new arrival, DHL etc... Marinas are often good places to send packages for travelers. Send money electronically to a mutual
trusted friend with a functioning banking card to meet up with.
Send money to Western Union, or in some cases American Express.
Buy a (RT?) ticket for the person to fly home if they can get themselves to the airport. At home they can regroup and head back south with a better
plan and bank card(s).

Yes, he knows now... I'd have to say it's probably the cervesa that has has
him preoccupied
When my uncle contacted me about my dad, I thought he had told me to order another card. But in Dad's email, he doesn't request one...
not quite sure how he's getting along w/out $$$
