Things are opening up fast for folks like you. Get out while the crowds are down, and enjoy! My US passport is good until 2026, and I try on Sunday to hit CVS for my Moderna shot. Baby steps to freedom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently had a wedding in Germany and a trip Down Under, but not much since Last year my Spain trip was cancelled and I'm hoping getting my shot this weekend frees up the second half of the year for a trip back to Europe - whether Spain or elsewhere. But we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we'll see. I was in Spain in 2000 or 2001 or so, the Barcelona airport and then about 10 days in Ibiza, Australia and NZ in 2003. I liked Australia and NZ, and would live in either place if I had the chance, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Vegas, I have never been in a place where I thought sunscreen might not be enough to prevent me being cooked. I remember in Sydney have the tiniest patch of skin get cooked by summer sunlight where I must have missed a spot with sunscreen. Only Vegas in the summer made me feels that way too.

It's much easier to renew than to let it lapse and get another later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #11 Posted May 7, 2021 Passports don't arrive instantly when you ask for one. Sometimes in life we want to travel outside the country soonest for something important, like a new job. It's better to have one than to have to wait for one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #12 Posted May 7, 2021 Does your driver's license have the Real ID mark on it? If not, the passport will work so that you can fly domestically also. Personally I like to keep my passport valid in case I need to make a quick exit of the country for some reason.... 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted May 7, 2021 Share #14 Posted May 7, 2021 I heard somewhere about difficulty in getting passports - I think my nephew Ryan needs a renewed one: he graduated from high school but is still eligible to travel with his former AP Spanish teacher Tracy's student trips to Spanish speaking countries in the summers - the last one was Spain, the next one may be Central America over the Christmas break or Summer 2022. He was on the football team and would know many of the girls going, so I guess he'll be lookin' for love in all the Hispanic places. If his Spanish teacher wasn't married, I think I'd go too!

BuffJim Posted May 7, 2021 Share #16 Posted May 7, 2021 Right now Ireland is the front runner for our June 2022 vacation. I guess that means I should check our passports for expiration date. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real ID initiative got pushed back again. I want to say to 2023 but fact check me on the date. But yeah for a quick escape out of the country gonna need that passport.

shootingstar Posted May 8, 2021 Share #18 Posted May 8, 2021 Valid until 2027. I use it on all domestic flights...lots of Canadians do use it also for same. I see them in the plane lineups with their passport. I've been to the U.S. 3 times, 2 overseas foreign trips (Europe and Asia). I'd say it's worthwhile because I squeezed in alot of these trips prior to covid.. My next plane trips will be visiting family and friends in Canada...top priority.
