This is a good reminder to sign up for the state department’s STEP email alerts if you’re planning on spending more than a week abroad. That’s how they coordinated evacuations during Covid times, and with the world seeming increasingly not as peaceful as it was 5 years ago, the embassy is going to be one of the most important emails you’ll get if you’re stuck in a pickle while traveling. They even have the ability to forward you the cash for a ticket back if you don’t have access to funds (don’t worry, they’ll get that back from you when you return). And if needed, they’ll do their best to get you to the airport. I was in a southeastern Asian country during Covid when they were trying to run bus routes to the airport and I’m pretty sure they carried large bags of cash to get through the locked down provincial border crossings.
