New Passport

[B-52 7,113]

I need to renew my Passport....they always say that Customs Agents have seen it all, including weight loss....and up till last trip it was not a problem....

The custom agent looked me over head to toe real hard...held up the line...I told him that picture was over 100 pounds ago...he did not say a word, and next thing I know another agent shows up out of no where and looks at my passport...he must have pushed a hidden button or something because he never physically called for the other agent...she just showed up...

Long story short, the 2nd agent said "Congratulations" without cracking a smile and walked away.... and the first agent stamped my passport without saying a word....

Not going through that again....I've got 3 years left on my current passport, but going to renew after the first of the year....

Congrats is right!

Good point...I'll be using mine in three weeks for the first time in a couple of years....Way too long! Ready for some sun!

This made me laugh, the deadpan "Congratulations." I remember in my youth how much I loved my documents with all the stamps, the photo, etc. But these days a glimpse of my driver's license picture makes me wince. Looking forward to needing new everything!

I got a new drivers license and they used my old photo! But at least I weigh the amount it says on it (for the first time ever, lol!)

Very timely post B-52. We just booked a family cruise for July and I had to check my passport to see if it included my middle name. The picture is of me 100 lbs. heavier so now I'm also curious to see what reaction, if any, I get from the ship personnel when they look at it.

I was extremely lazy and did not get a new drivers license until mine expired, but enjoyed the looks I got from people seeing the old one! My passport I never had until I had lost my 100 lbs, so never had that trouble! Time to get the new one B-52, I guess that means to fork over another big bucks to the govt.! Happy New year, Karen..aka..kll724
