On my TO DO list

Along with my driver's license, my passport is due to expire later this year.  August 2001.  It doesn't seem like 10 years ago that I first traveled outside the United States. Germany and Italy were back to back that summer...  6 countries of Asia in the winter of 2005.  I've not been out of the U.S. since.  And I'm definitely not complaining, I much rather be at HOME!.

But my boss has told me to ALWAYS make sure that my passport is up to date!!!

 Reason to wait till after my birthday.

• New renewal forms are to start on February 1st.  
• No increase of fees are expected-  currently $110 (but they are much higher than the $60 a decade ago)
• Recommended renewal window 6 to 4 months before expiration

Looking at the online renewal process, it seems simple enough.  Just print form DS-82 and fill out the information.  A visit to Gene Johnson's office sometime in March just might be in order.
