Do you have your passport yet?




If you don't have your passport now is the time to get it. I am constantly deluged with updates concerning travel security from Homeland Security. The latest is the government is looking at requiring a passport anytime you leave the country (including cruising) by June 2009. They are also looking at raising the price of passports. As of right now they are $97 and good for 10 years.

So get your certified copy of your birth certificate from the county your were born in. We recommend passport pictures be taken at Walgreen's at $7.99 each. If you live in Macon County the place to apply for your passport are either the Post Office downtown or on Mound Street in Decatur. You can also print out an application at http://travel.state.gov/passport.
Get it now - then you will be ready to travel when that great deal comes through.
