In the beginning...

We are counting down the days to take off! In one week we hope to be enjoying our International travels but the anxieties have already begun. As we check our list of things to do, we came across our first snag. As copies of passports were being made for backup Bob discovers RJ's passport has expired. It seems impossible that it would only expire after two years. When Bertha and RJ went to London, they both acquired a passport. Bertha's passport won't expire for another 8 years...possibly it was because RJ was a minor at that time and it was only good for two years. Well, this week Bertha and RJ paid a rush visit to the LA Passport Agency and all will be well as they expect a rush delivery this week. Like Santa, we are checking our list of things to do and checking it twice!
