After 6 long weeks and untold numbers of emails, Messenger chats, phone calls, and video calls; providing documentation, identification, and information to Facebook; hair pulling, cursing, and a few tears, we are finally back! It was a long road but we're glad that Facebook eventually locked out the person who hacked our account and gave us back our content and the community we have spent 15 years nurturing. Thank you to those who stuck it out and a special thank you to those who helped by alerting others to what was going on, since we were not even able to view the page for all this time. Ben, Amy, Sue, Kirsten, and everyone else who jumped in, thank you! It's business as usual on the Solo Travel Society page now, so if you haven't already, please join us! And the more you can react, comment on, and share our posts and invite your friends to follow us, the faster we will be able to rebuild all that we've lost.
