I haven't traveled in a minute, and though I'm not leaving the country, tomorrow I'll be setting foot somewhere I have never been. I've been to this state, but not in this exact location. Any guesses where I'll be for the next couple days?

In our area, school is almost out, and SUMMER IS KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR! What are your plans for fun and sun? I literally am in the midst of planning my family's summer of water and sand castles and memory-making fun. So if you haven't planned yet, then it isn't too late. It's a great time for Caribbean deals & deals around the US! Do you have plans? Half-baked thoughts? ✈️🏝☀️🌎⛱

I'm kind of geeking out over here! It feels like my worlds are colliding. Could I actually be on a river cruise with THE Jen Hatmaker? You could too! Sets sail from Amsterdam August 3, 2024. I sooooo enjoy her hilarious writing style. It would be thrilling to be on an 7-night river cruise with her in Holland and Belgium! please send all your friends my way for booking. It would be my pleasure to spoil them rotten! Especially I promise to be (mostly) chill on the cruise.

May the Fourth be with You! This first picture is a TOP FIVE PHOTO AND MEMORY from taking our kids to Disney. This awesome cast member at Hollywood Studios brought the magic 🪄✨ when she as a rebel was running and taking cover from an empire attack and including my boys in the action. We took the photo outside of Docking Bay 7 (quick service restaurant in Galaxy's Edge), which is our favorite place to grab lunch in Hollywood Studios. We love the food and the air conditioning and the Star Wars vibe.

Passport processing times are currently up to 13 weeks. Even if you have no international travel on the docket, may I suggest that it's time to get your passport?

My personal tips
1) Take your passport pictures at home and get them printed at Walmart (most wallet-friendly)...The State Department website will tell you if your pic meets the requirements.

2) Take your photos, your completed forms, your ID, etc to a Passport Acceptance Facility. We had a GREAT experience at the Indian Prairie Library in Darien, IL. (If it's you're first time applying, you need to go in person. You might be eligible to renew an existing passport by mail, but read all the requirements.)

3) If your passport is WITHIN ONE YEAR of expiring, then it is time to renew. You do not want to travel with a passport that will be expiring within 6 months of international travel; therefore, get out ahead of that and renew before it's urgent.

4) It's expensive enough to get passports without having to pay for expedited service (which won't alleviate your stress in a rush situation). Passports are good for 10 years (or 9-9½ ish years: see Tip No. 3). There's value in those dollars spent.

5) I had a friend who was offered a week vacation in Paris at the last minute for spring break. She couldn't go because she and her husband didn't have valid passports. True story.

The State Department site is the only website you should be referencing for passport services:
