One problem with travel is that you are at the mercy of others. My tour agency put me on a lousy connection from Caracas to Port-O-Span, Trinidad to Georgetown Guyana. Up at 4:45 am and to the airport. Under 2 hours & I'm in Trinidad! But my connection flight is in 11 hours.
So after doing some checking, I catch the 80 cent, 35 minute bus into town. (taxi costs $35) In town I just hung out, went through a bunch of the old town and street vendors, etc. Found an internet shop to do yesterday's update, and went looking for a wedding ring.
Ok, considering where I will be going, I decided to leave my ring at home and when I got to a country where silver is reasonable, get a silver one to wear. I went to 5 shops looking for my size and the narrow one I like. No one has it. But the last shop lady says "I can make one in 30 minutes" OK, how much ?
So for $18 I have a silver wedding band.

Yeah, I leave my diamond engagement ring at home when we go on trips like that too, and just wear my simple gold band. 11 hours, that stinks.
