      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.
