Do You Have A Passport?

[arwalden]

And... when did you get your first passport?

I keep mine current in case I ever feel like hopping on a plane at a moments notice for a whirlwind global vacation. (Yeah, right.)

1. Two, actually.

One US and one UK. Put 'em in a blender and it's Canadian...

[arwalden]

2. LOL... Or paper mâche. (nt)

3. Mine expired a couple of months ago.

I got it in June, 1993, just before I got out of the Army. I was taking a trip to Europe, and didn't want to have to rely on my Army leave orders at border crossings. It was stamped with the U.K., France, Belgium, Germany, The Republic of Ireland, and the Cayman Islands.

15. Cayman Islands?

Isn't your Cayman Island Bankbook an international passport? I don't think those will ever expire, at least that's what Ken Lay is hoping.

16. We were invited to spend a couple of weeks at

my father-in-law's new condo on Grand Cayman. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that he was moving some money offshore. But I never saw him go into Georgetown to visit the banks. We snorkled most of the time.

4. I got my first when I was 17

for a trip my brother and I took to the British Isles. I've had three all together.

5. Always current,

just in case somebody wants to pay me to present a paper in Venice, again.

Well, it happened once, could happen again.

6. Nope

Never had one.

7. First passport at age 17

when my family went to Europe for five weeks.

Since then, my travels have been confined to Asia, but I would jump at the chance to go to Europe again.

8. My grandma always said

"Always have a current passport and resumŽ handy."

...to which Grandpa added:

"And a box of ammo!!...And a stack of twenties!!" :)

9. Yes- Expired

I have been meaning to renew it for over a year now. I want to visit Europe sometime in the next year so...

10. Yes, I have a passport

need to get it renewed. First trip to Europe the summer I graduated college.

I have a goal of visiting all the continents in my lifetime.

[MaineDem]

11. It's expired

Thank you for the reminder.

I got my first one in 1969 when I went to Europe for 9 weeks as a high school graduation present. (Weren't they nice?)

I've had 2 since then. I could get an Irish one, too, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

12. I got my first one in 1990

I've only used it three times. Twice to Mexico and once to Canada.

When I when to Canada I showed my passport to the clerk, she looked at the picture with blond hair and then at me (with my natural color at the time) and said "quite a big difference, eh?".

I love Canadians!

13. Expired

Got my first passport when I was 14. My mom and dad took me to England. I know it was valid as of 12 years ago, it has to have expired by now. I honestly can't find it.

[DemExpat]

14. U.S. since 1957.....

17. I went to Italy and Spain on my military ID card

Then I went to Italy for business. I kept it after it expired, because in my picture at 27, I STILL HAD SOME HAIR!

[lebkuchen]

18. Got my first one in 1984

and have had it renewed twice since, for travels to Asia and Europe for my work. I've lived overseas for the last 14 years.
