This blog is for those of you who are in my very situation, or perhaps, will be in this situation given the new new Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
As of January 2007, those traveling to Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas are required to have a passport, thus creating one of the biggest problems for international travelers.
THE 13 PASSPORT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRY ARE NOW JAMMED AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE APPLYING FOR PASSPORTS.
THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO HIT THE MEDIA AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!
I've waited 13 WEEKS and have NOTHING and have 4 more days before my scheduled departure.
Contact your local senator's/congressman's offices if you are in desperate need of a passport and have already applied at the post office, etc.
Consider using a private service that guarentees a 24 hour processing service for those of you who are in a bind. I've done some research on them but would advise you to call and confirm that they can accommodate your needs.
I am working on compiling all the information I found to be useful after this wild hunt I have gone on to track down my passport (you'll notice the links to various gov't websites, though they were probably the least helpful).
This is all a disservice to citizens and change must HAPPEN!
