Sneaky buggers

So as I was taking out money at the armed guarded ATM machine today (the same one we`ve been using since we arrived in Antigua), when a very distraught lady informed both Matt and I that these particular ATMs record card information and use it to steal money from people´s accounts. Super. So I´ve just spent the last hour on an extremely bad skype connection talking to five different customer service representative with CIBC and VISA, organizing the shippment of an emergency VISA and putting up blocks on my account. Luckily I took out a ridiculous amount of cash on my last withdrawl and I should be alright until the new one arrives.. hopefully it all works out, otherwise I´m depending on Matt for money?
Matt spoke with his VISA company through Scotia Bank and they told him that it´s not possible for ATM companies to do that, but I`ve read a ton of stories of this exact situation happening to people where they end up being robbed of thousands of dollars. Matt´s going to risk it; I´m not taking any chances - I´m already poor, I don´t need someone ripping off the rest of my money!

That`s been my adventure of the day thus far, it`s only noon, so I´m going to head out and see what other kind of mischief we can get ourselves into.

Much love! Christine (and Matt)
