<p>She picks it up in San Francisco. We leave from San Francisco late 5/31.</p>
<p>“D has made friends at the passport agency, on the ferry, and among other public servants who helped her get home yesterday when she took the wrong ferry.”</p>
<p>That is an important skill that just can’t be taught</p>
<p>That is a relief, somehow 2 days leeway with passport in hand seems almost safe after the journey you have experienced to get it (both literally and figuratively). And yes, learning how to make friends with people (especially those with the possible power to make your life easier/get you out of jams) is a very important life skill for your daughter!</p>
<p>Great news! Have a wonderful trip.</p>
<p>All should work out. I thought you were leaving on the 29th. 2 extra days sounds ideal!</p>
<p>Whoop! I wish your family a fabulous vacation in Jamaica!</p>

<p>Gotta love Jamaica! We were there as one of our ports during spring break. Tour guide: there are no problems in Jamaica, mon, only situations!</p>
<p>Thank goodness…my fingers and toes were starting to cramp from all of that crossing…</p>
<p>Hooray! I have to say, this has been one of my favorite threads in recent history!</p>
<p>The highs, the lows, the suspense! Best of all, the triumphant happy ending! It was almost like an old-fashioned serial. ;-)</p>
<p>Have a great trip!</p>
<p>Thanks for the suggestions and the support. …I sure hoe there is good wireless at the place we are staying. Don’t know what I’d do without my CC fix!</p>
<p>Nonono. No cc on vacation!!! Feel the freedom!!! Enjoy for us!!! Stay away!!!</p>
<p>No cc on vacation – but when you get back, we want a full report!</p>
<p>(Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.)</p>
<p>OMG - just popped on this an hour ago and read from start to finish - what a gripping afternoon tale!</p>
<p>I think the thread attracted me b/c DD is at the post office renewing her passport right now. She has 5 weeks before leaving so it wasn’t a close one, but I was not aware of the 6 month validity left and was just having her do this so it would be good through college now. Hers was due to expire in October this year.</p>
<p>Feel like I dodged a bullet!!!</p>
<p>Have a great vacation shrinkrap!</p>
