Nothing like having your cell phone decide to stop working while you’re in a foreign country for another 7 days. My Nexus 5X decided to go into the dreaded bootloop issue which is bad enough that a class action lawsuit is in the works against LG (the manufacturer) over the issue. Now I need to decide whether I try to get warranty on it, but that means I won’t have a phone for the next 7 days or I just head out to the mall here in Bucharest and buy a new phone. If I go the warranty route I have a very small window when I’m back in the US before I leave for Italy. This really sucks. :)

I feel so lost without a phone. Especially when I head out into the city. I might need Google Maps to find my way to places!
