>>All is well with Emily now. Having something bad happen to our children is about the worst thing imaginable. I have barely slept in 4 nights. We probably all grow up selfish and then we have kids and discover something more profound.

Mike, as you know I try not to comment on personal stuff, but: this will become an integral part of her adventure. In future years, nonchalantly she will describe the time she was robbed and left without ID or currency in a foreign land, and her stay-at-home audience will shudder. And then when she's old and creaky and barely able to attain her letterbox, her reminisces will provoke a chuckle whenever she thinks about what happened and good old long-gone Daddy-O raising hell on the other side of the world to try to assist. IOW it's close and raw now, but it's also the stuff of which the best life stories are made!
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
