Well, for those of you traveling to the Bahamas, and have yet to get a passport, there is one alternative.
Taking a cruise does not require a passport YET, however, I believe it will as of 2008.
I have found that the Imperial Majesty Cruiseline leaves Ft. Lauderdale for Nassau every odd day of the month.
You CAN book the 2-night cruise but get off and stay in the Bahamas and catch the cruise back a week later. It leaves Nassau every even day of the month.
Arrangements can be made and apparently short notice is not a problem.
We were told it would cost $280 round trip per person...which when you are desperate, isn't horrible.
The ship leaves Ft. Lauderdale at 5 pm and arrives in Nassau at 9 am. On the return trip, it leaves Nassau at 5:30 pm and you arrive back in Ft. Lauderdale at 9 am.
The link to their website is below.
13 WEEKS AND NO PASSPORT...
