So what, in the past ten years the price of a loaf of bread has skyrocketed too, from $1.19 to $3.99... are you going to stop eating $8/lb ham sandwiches because two slices of bread now costs 40¢ Relative to the cost of travel the price of a passport is chump change... for someone who travels even once a year the cost of a passport is $12.50/yr... for someone going out of country even four times a year the passport costs less than a cup of coffee per trip. For anyone who travels the cost of a passport is not a speck in the equation. I had a current passport all my adult life but when it was time to renew two years ago I had realized that in ten years I hadn't used my passport even once and was 100% certain I would never have use for it again, so now I don't have one and I don't feel the least bit naked. There is nowhere on the planet that I would like to visit that I already haven't and many more than once. I have no family or friends out of country that I would visit... I have a few distant relatives in Argentina that I have never seen or even communicated. The last time I was out of the US was 15 years ago when I used to visit Belize often. I've done most of my travel in the US by automobile, don't see anything flying (driven in every state but Hawaii, I traveled from LA to Alaska by motorcycle,1965), plenty to see here, can't see it all in 10 life times... there are places in the US I still may one day hop in my car and visit... I've driven all through Mexico and extensively through Canada (I've seen more of Canada than most Canadians), have no desire to go there again... the things that would interest me in Canada have vastly deteriorated in the past 50 years same as in the US... most of the National Parks I visited over my lifetime have been destroyed to the point that they are now slums (especially CA, CA is bankrupt in more ways than economically), they ALL need to be permanently closed to the public, visit by CD. |
