Passport

So I just got my passport in the mail and I was thinking to myself I'm 26 yrs old and I just got my first passport- how lame! There are many kids who have seen more of the world than me. Thailand will be my first stamp and I hope to add many more after that. Any suggestions? Also looking for words of wisdom from those of you who have traveled afar. Is there anything you suggest I make sure to take with me? Any other tips would be welcomed as well.

Dana -

Possibly checking with your doctor to see if there are any vaccines or shots you may need since this will be the first time overseas. Also, possibly bring your own bottled water? may check with Pastor Phil on this one. See you Sunday. Your friend and sister in Christ, Christina

wear shoes that you will be able to put back on after they swell up to the size of fat sausages from the long plane ride. Seriously when I flew far away I couldn't even wear my shoes they were that huge. So I recommend flip flops maybe...

Don't forget your pod filled with great sermons to listen to the whole way too!!

After 43 states, one district, 6 Mexican states, and 8 Canadian provinces and territories, I have yet to stamp a passport either.

My uncle told me once that I've already lived twice the life that many people my age have (on account of my traveling). I refuted that by saying that no, I haven't lived twice the life, I've just chosen to do different things with my life.

So no, it's not lame. It's not lame at all. No lameness involved here! (Don't you feel better about the lack of lameness now?)

It's not lame, kids traveling for fun, you are for doing it to serving Christ,
KNOW at all times where your money is at. My friend from work is a missionary and he said'"Robbery is very common. "Especially in hotel rooms"!
Claritin is important too...

You already know my travels. I'd like to try South America and Italy. Spain is nice. France would be great if it wasn't full of French people!
