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. |

You can call the French what you like, but Paris was awesome. |

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. |

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. |

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'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...

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. |
