Oh, man! That's a bummer. To be that close and not get to go in is really painful. So, yeah -- I understand how you felt. =(

I'll probably never see it in person, which is kind of a bummer. Ah well. Some things are just not meant to be, I guess.

Nah. No trips planned for the foreseeable future. But, my daughter may go to Texas this summer. It's so much easier going through airport security with a passport for her because it functions as picture ID.

Ouch on your sister's passport "adventure". That would be quite a nasty shock! o_o
