USA Passport

So I just renewed my passport the other day. Surprisingly enough I got it within six days of applying for a new passport (even though I had to pay the rush fee). I compared it to my old one and I must say that the format for passports are much better these days! And of course my picture is way better, now being 6 years older. One of the things I found interesting about the new passport book is the quotes they've included in the Visa and Endorsements pages throughout the booklet.

Here's a sample of a few of them:

"This is a new nation based on a mighty continent, of boundless possibilities." -Theodore Roosevelt

"Whatever America hopes to bring to pass in the world must first come to pass in the heart of America." -Dwight D. Eisenhower

"We have a great dream. It started way back in 1776, and God grant that America will be true to her dream." -Martin Luther King, Jr.

"The cause of freesome is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class---it is the cause of humankind, the very birthright of humanity." -Anna Julia Cooper


The best thing about this new passport is that my first trip with it will be to Ghana and Togo, Africa this summer! I'm so excited...it's going to be a great trip! More details to come.....
