Your Passport
An interested traveler told us that she has never traveled abroad and asked if she should obtain a Passport
Maybe you’ll obtain the Passport this year . . . then travel with us next year
If you do join us this year, you will need a Passport before you buy your airline ticket to Paris
Go to the local Post Office to obtain your Passport application
Form: DS-11
There is a fee (approx $165)
A Passport Photo is also required (2”x2”)
Once all materials are assembled . . .
It isn’t much more effort than mailing a Christmas Package
There may be a line and repeated trips back to the window
And there is processing time (4-6 weeks)
Your Passport is the ultimate trinket
Something that you definitely need when-you-need-it
Maybe one day it will bear airport stamps from Paris, Berlin, London or Tokyo
It is good for 10 years
