Oh, yeah, I keep forgetting to express my sympathy. I think I might cry if I lost my dictionary (which I've come very close to doing several times). At least this gives you a good excuse to get a new one!

And I definitely think you should complain to the post office about the money order. That's so not your fault! I'm just hoping now that I get through my trip home with no major problems. Hope the rest of your vacation goes better!
