“Even in the middle of the day for a few hours. We made this mistake and wish we hadn’t. Always take your passports and important medications with you,” Gray further added.
Despite the incident, Gray said she’s thankful for the supportive messages and to those who helped her in taking care of travel-related arrangements.
