Hope you get the passports without any delay.
Passports have always been a worry usually for nothing. High cost too. But you always wonder.
Why does it expire? Shouldn’t a social security death database entry expire it? I remember our kids passports expired in like 5 years. Always scrambling.
The idea of going to a drug store to get a 1950s picture is crazy too.
I never worry much going into other countries but get stressed coming back via air regardless of airport. The line, the expressionless stampers, the suspense.
Unnecessary process and stress for bonafide citizens.
And the need to pay extra for TSA-Pre, Clear, Global Entry. Especially the offer while your in line that for money we can walk you to the front.
The vast number of USA citizens should be welcomed back with a smile, hand wave and facial recognition.
Almost every cruise return has been zero stress and worry.
