Passport
60 Days of Paris
Just 2 months till our departure across the sea to France
We realize that this is not a impulse venture.
For many of you, this could be a a once in a lifetime adventure, which means – “wait until next year”
Last weekend in Chicago, Les Tour de Cimetières visited Graceland Cemetery .
The grave sites include those of a U.S. Supreme Court Justice, the 1st African American Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Roger Ebert and a amazing cast of other occupants
It might be too late to obtain a Passport ,
But, if you do have a passport, Airline Tickets can still be obtained – maybe even for some non-stop flights
Rooms may not be available at all the four Paris-area hotels (Les Quatre Hôtels ) where we will stay, so let us know if we can suggest alternative lodgings.

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
