Day 38--Another suitcase and a near panic attack

No pictures today,  this blogger is a slacker!

So, after breakfast I ordered an Uber to take me to the shopping district at Rundle Mall.  After all I did need to acquire another suitcase! Other shopping as well.

Found a suitcase in between the size of my roll-aboard and my big suitcase.  It isn't blue-darn it!  Also bought a pair of jeans as I still don't have enough clothes-I'm an idiot when it comes to packing!  Lots of snacky stuff to take home with me, a few souvenirs for me and for the "boys"at home, and a new tip for my walking stick as it slipped on tile floors etc without one.  Shopping finished I decided to head back to the hotel only to discover my phone was dead.  Without a phone I can't call an Uber, I have no idea where I am and have no clue where my hotel is! Okay, there was a clue--city centre--big help.  This whole trip I have carried my external power bank with me all the time but on this day I FORGOT IT!  I don't usually freak out about much but this was close.  I decided to have lunch.  Checked with a place that repaired phones to see if they charged them, NOPE.  I went back to the street and had a lightbulb moment when I remembered the APPLE store!  I went in fully intending to have to purchase another power bank, then the nicest thing happened.  A gentleman asked me if I needed help (what clued him in?  The old lady rolling around an empty suitcase with a panicked expression on her face?  Helpless American!)  Anyway, I held up my phone and said it's dead and I can't call an Uber without it.  He then led me over to a bank of phones, unplugged one and plugged my phone in!  I hung out for about 30 minutes until I had about 50% power and left grateful!  Kudos to the Adelaide Apple Store for having such lovely employees!

Speaking of that Uber.  When asked where I was from I asked if he knew where Kansas City was, (I've been surprised this whole trip by the number of people who do) He said Yes, he followed our football team!  I asked American football, Soccer or Rugby?  Turns out it was American Football and he was, like me, a Kansas City Chiefs fan!  Go Mahomes!

Did a little sorting out of what suitcase would hold what back at the hotel.  I'm tired of re-packing the suitcases every time I change locations!  I'm also just plain tired and I have to be up very early tomorrow for a trip to Kangaroo Island!
