Stuck in Transit Limbo

Remember that Tom Hanks movie... "The Terminal"... well, I'm living it... or have been for the last 18 hours anyway...

I was completely floored, flabberghasted, shocked, when I arrived in Guayaquil, Ecuador as per the usual, excited to see Martin after 3 months... and I was told I would not be allowed to pass immigration to enter Ecuador... huh???

When I left here in March (after a two month visit), they neglected to stamp my passport (either manually, or digitally), so when I arrived, I showed up in their system as having over-stayed my visa and never having left!!!

So all this hassle because of an error ON THEIR SYSTEM!


Post-Script:  I did get the immigration issue resolved, thankfully!
