Our passports expire next July, and the timing will demand that we use expedited service (Scotland in May, then S. Africa in September) if I want to avoid a nervous breakdown. When we went to New Orleans in October, Mark got the incredible idea of just renewing it while we were there; after all, the passport office is directly across the street from Harrah's (diagonally). I checked the website to make an appointment, and discovered that we would have to be traveling within a very short time period or they wouldn't see us. If it wasn't so terribly hot in NOLA that time of year, it could call for another trip down.

Lauri, have him start finding a place and making an appointment tomorrow!
