Here comes the story 'bout the Hurricane

So as I mentioned the other day I was headed into the Hurricane in Cairns, well the Hurricane missed us, but i ended up in a totally different type of Hurricane...
I got some books at the used book store (finally found a used copy of Breaking Dawn and To Kill a Mockingbird) and I ran out of cash, so I went to the Westpac ATM (so i dont get any service fees of anything like that) . As I finished withdrawling 150$AUS it tells me to remove my card to get the cash, and low and behold, it refused to spit out the card, so i never got the cash and it kept my card, so now im stuck in Cairns with now money, and no debit card... Westpac told me to call scotia or to wait until monday morning to go get my card from the Branch, but my flight leaves for Brisbane sunday morning at 6am.
So now i have a few options, im going to call my flight and see how much it will cost me to delay it until monday afternoon, or I can take my chances and try to get Scotia to fedex me a new card to Brisbane before I leave for India on thursday.
Quite the pickle, but ive left the panic behind me, i have options and now its just getting around them buh
other then that though I bought a wicked pair of Volcom shorts this morning for 35$ which is like 25-30$ canadian! wohoo!
