I can tell the date is coming soon when I start having anxiety attacks about the location of my passport.

Three years ago we were going to Lithuania, and I realized my passport was going to expire. I went to apply for a new one and was told that, with new security procedures, my birth certificate was invalid, and that I would have to get a new one (from Quebec!). I FAXed the request the next day. Boy was I nervous! I finally got my passport the day before our trip. Phew!

I also had my first travel dream last night. I dreamt I had travelled somewhere, with some people that I apparently knew, and was packing up to come home. But I had brought a huge desk with me from home (an heirloom), and I had to pack it with stuff, including my son's complete childhood collection of teddy bears (my son is 24.) :eek:
