Lessons learned - keep the right credit card and passport on your travel

We departed this morning very early to Rio de Janeiro. We had two issues on the airport. One in our group did not have his passport with him... and this should not have been an issue... but it was.... He took a cab to the hotel to pick it up.... he made it....

Secondly, keep your American Express with you as GOL airline did not accept international Visa or Mastercard, only American Express.... Typically it is the other way around. My friend had one with him so we got the tickets. These two suggestions are good to remember when you travel especially in Latin America.
