Sorry about not getting into more details. Yes, I did get the checks. They finally got hold of the driver and he found them. What happened was I was in the back seat of a van. When I got up to 'stoop' out of the van the sporron probably got caught on the seat infront of me when I moved around it and tilted forward. Becuase I had put the checks on top and in front where I could pull them out fast when I put the sporron through the x-ray they just fell out. I'm fortunate that the cash didn't fall out or that would also be lost and I probably would not have been as lucky. I am now a firm believer in travelers checks! I think that is why I got them back, although I'd like to believe the driver would have been honest enough to return the cash if I had lost it also.

And don't tell her I said this but she is something to put up with me and I'm thankful she does!
