“My husband and I recently arrived at the Savannah airport without his ID. There is a procedure in place for such occasions so he was able to get on the plane. However, we did not want to go thru this in Miami, a much bigger airport. I called Administration from the plane and the next day my husband’s wallet (extracted from his car by one of our drivers) arrived via Federal Express. Once again, we congratulated ourselves for having made the move to The Marshes!”
