She had all of her travel documents and identification, as well as several other items, including her camera and my camera which I lent her for the trip. Any suggestions on how she could come back home by June 28, her expected return date since the airline will not let her fly without identification.
She needs to go to an embassy and can get documents there. Hope she has access to funds to cover travel/hotel in the interim.
Here is a thread that has a lot of extra useless information bc the poster was not cagey about certain things and it led to questions and doubts, etc. That said, other people offered excellent information in the first day or so (I stopped reading pretty quickly when it was happening) but the embassy location and contact is buried in there for Switzerland. Good luck to your gf and kids.
