>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!

I talked to my ex-wife today and we agreed it will be funny someday.
