I procrastinated long enough and FINALLY applied for my US passport today! The travel requirements are changing June 1st and since we are always crossing the border to travel to Canada I knew I needed to get on this!
I have to say I am excited! I feel like now I can travel ANYWHERE I want (well, once the passport comes in the mail!) It's such an official document and I love the feeling that I am going to have one. I think I might have to plan a trip now so that I can use it (and not just to travel to Canada).
They did take my birth certificate though so I was nervous about that. I'm not used to NOT having it with me at all times. YIKES!!! So, I rushed home and ordered a new copy to have in the meantime. I hope that comes soon! Then I have 4-6 weeks before the passport comes! YAY!
I love the feeling of accomplishment even if it is for the little things! lol.
I was nervous about my birth certificate too, but we got them all back in a great big envelope w/ our passports.
Congrats! I happen to know some people in Asia w/ a spare room you could use. ;)
