My new amended passport arrived today, and just in time. I had overlooked the fact that I had run out of visa pages. Rather to be safe than sorry, I sent my passport in to add extra pages. Turnaround time was estimated at six weeks, which would coincide days before my departure date. With my trip fast approaching, I still hadn’t received my passport. After a quick call to the State Department’s customer service line, the operator was suprisingly very helpful and friendly. Through her computer network, she found exactly where my passport was, and that it was ¾ of the way through the process. Expect it next week, she said.
It arrived today, with approximately 15 new and squeaky clean pages. However, it seems as if my passport is taunting me, daring me to fill up all these pages with entry and exit stamps before my passport expires in June of 2005.

Well, what are you waiting for?
The place I can recomend you to first use your brand new, shiny squeaky passport after your trip to Bolivia, would be Spain. Preferably somewhere in the south. Costa del Sol or perhaps Costa Brava.
Now you have a good excuse to travel the world and get to know wonderful and interesting places.
