With new travel restrictions, how many have one and why?
I have had one for awhile because I occasionally travel out of country. SRM |
|
it's worth it, you only need to renew every 10 years unlike Canada which is every 5 years...ask me how I know
|
|
4 years...because I like to travel to urope...oh and mexico, bahamas,caymans,
|
|
I don't have one, but I want one. I've got teh wander lust and need a passport to visit other countries.
|
|
I would like to get a passport at some point, but I haven't needed one yet. I might get around to applying for one this year though.
|
|
Two, in fact.
Interesting idea for a thread. Sometimes I get the feelign that folks here have never left their home county, let alone the US. |
|
yeah, went to France to visit the GF when she was over there for semester abroad...
You can call the French what you like, but Paris was awesome. |
|
its in the mail, i travel out of the country enough, with my mom being a travel agent i get some good deals
|
|
I do.
ETA: But I got it wet on a dive trip a while back and should really get it replaced. |
|
Yes, but its 8~9 years old. I should just start the process for a new one early.
|
|
Yup. Hard to cross the border these days without it.
Also, passports make a great form of ID if you need to show "government ID" but don't want to give away your address. |
|
passport i needed to take flying lessons ..after the patriot act..
|
|
Red and blue here too. |
|
|
Got it because the one I applied for when I was 18 expired. Proably wont use it again for at least a couple of years with exchange rates being what they are.
|
|
Ooh, the coveted black passport. Never had a chance to use or be issued one of those yet. If I keep my nose clean, maybe I'll get a real job someday. |
|
|
Collect the whole set! |
|
|
Don't have one, won't get one. I used to go to Canada, But i'll never set foot in that country again after their refusal to help out in Iraq.
I have no interest in going to the crime syndicate that is Mexico. The only way I would ever go to a foreign country is if we were invading it, and I'm too old to be called up now. There are many beautiful places in the US that I'll probably never see (until I retire maybe .) I can't imagine spending money going to go to a foreign country when there is so much to do in the USA. |
|
I have a blue one. I'm probably going to go study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country eventually, or Japan for international business.
|
|
Went to Malta last year. Saw the world's biggest muzzle loader, a 100 ton Armstrong gun (17.2") at Fort Renalli.
|
|
No passport here.
All of my world travelling was done curtesy of Uncle Sam, no passport needed. |
|
yep. haven't used it yet through. Got it in case I wanted to go to Canada.
|
|
I have two. One I bought, and one you fine taxpayers bought for me. I have them because I travel for personal and official reasons.
|
|
I'm on my second one. I filled up the first one and a set of extra pages that were put in it, then it expired while I was in Thailand.
Just used in this week when I went to Phuket for a week. You kind of have to have one in my line of work... |
|
Trips between HK and the mainland are slowly but surely devouring every page of mine. |
|
|
I have a blue and red passport My wife has a passport, so do my two 23 month old sons.
If I decide to go somewhere I want to go then, not wait until passports are processed |
|
I have one based only on the reason that it's almost impossible to get any form of ID if you don't currently have a form of ID,
|
|
I have mine but have never traveled outside of the United States.
|
|
My mom keeps telling me I should get mine. I really have no desire to leave the country, so I haven't bothered.
|
|
got mine a month after 911. Makes travel to Canada & Mexico much easier.
|
|
I don't need one, if I want to visit a 3rd world country, I just have to go down to Miami.
|
|
I do
Why would you not? |
||
|
I use it occasionally, and it's nice to have if you need to disappear.
|
|
So anywhere outside the US is third world? |
|
|
Same here. On a side note, what's with the colors (red, blue, etc.)? |
|
|
There are 3 that I know of and they signify diplomat (black), official (red), and regular (blue) |
||
|
Got mine...I think it's good for another few years. I'll get another one then; it's just something good to have IMHO.
I've been to the Netherlands and Belgium, and studied abroad in Italy, so it's gotten some use. Went to Canada once but I don't recall a passport being necessary at that time. |
