T&T: passport

[Bob DeGroot, DCH]

You don't need any immediate travel plans to get a passport. I just renewed
mine and my wife (and I) got the new passport cards as well. We are planning
on visiting the Bahamas and Canada in a couple years so I put those as
potential visits with no dates. We both received ours in a couple weeks
(didn't use expedited services).

Larry, I believe all you need is to provide an itinerary in writing and not
necessarily have a ticket in hand. After all, until you are sure you have a
passport you would not be expected to commit to purchasing a ticket. I would
put in in writing and give specific details based on the passport being
issued
by a certain date and attach it to you application or renewal. But to be
sure,
call the passport office and ask. Chuck

Passport. A friend has the use of a house in Palmares, Costa Rica, for 3
weeks
and has invited me down. Only expense will be airfair. How could I refuse?
Even have a dog-sitter here.

But my passport's expired. I'm one hour from the Canal street office and I
can
get an appointment for a hurry up passport but I have to show travel plans
and
I don't have the tickets yet because I don't really know if I'm going.
Another
friend volunteered that I do have a boat and I'm "planning" a trip to the
Bahamas too. Any ideas on what kind of a "cruise plan" to the Bahamas or
Grand
Cayman or Panama would represent adequate documentation for the voyage if,
indeed, any is necessary?

Regards,

Larry
