      ## This list is a friendly reminder when traveling to Cartagena and back ### En route: * Brought only one VISA debit card, some places would not take AMEX. * Brought only one phone and it got water damage (Almost decided to go with digital camera). * Sunblock was not water-resistant and got sunburned. ### While in Cartagena: * Phone water-resistant case leaked water into my phone. (Test before each use). * Need to make sure your phone is fully dried before charging it (charge it before going in the water) ### Heading back home: * Laptop was not able to connect to aiport WiFi. * Had to take a COVID test for $90.000 COP for re-entry to U.S. * ATM was not telling me I didn't have any funds. (Prefer Servibanca ATMs) * Currency exchange people would not accept my $20.00 USD federal note because of a small missing corner. * Baggage security confiscated my lighters from my bag at the security checkpoint. * Only had an Aloe Vera drink and a chicken Caesar wrap all day. * Flight connection was 45 min apart with 1-2 hour customs wait and bag re-check. * Slept on an airport bench and floor for about 10 hours.
