Planning that European getaway

If you're continuing the process of planning you're European getaway an absolute must have is your passport. Don't procrastinate on this. If you have one be sure to check the expiration date. Many countries require you have six months remaining to even travel. We had friends who reported to the airport for their honeymoon trip that morning and weren't allowed to travel because the bride only had 4 months remaining on her passport. Don't throw a monkey wrench in your travel plans. NO SURPRISES, is my motto. Start hunting up your birth certificate now and be sure its a certified copy. There may be a time delay and additional expense if you need to send away for this too 

There is an avalanche if applications in early spring and summer so while you're snowed in is a good time to start the process 

If you're renewing a passport like we recently did you can put more than one renewal in an envelope but new applications can only contain one. Be sure to read all the directions with your application and if you have any questions we found our postmaster knew where to get answers to our questions. 

I'll continue to offer planning information for your trip and will have some great trips we will be sharing. Bulldog Ghost Tours as well as a hidden gem Chefs share with Bulldogs Tours. If you're planning a trip to the Food and Wine Festival be sure to post your tours with Bulldog Tours soon to ensure a spot. Hope to see you there,  but first, the Virgin Islands.
