Most of the time when we get stuck somewhere, due to the airline's fault or weather, we have to pay for our own hotel (and everything else). But then, we don't fly on US Air (not a lot of choice from Boise).Lisa Flowers Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255748017497273887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-35617285823977611242014-09-09T08:27:46.233-07:002014-09-09T08:27:46.233-07:00What an annoyance -- I'm so impressed that US ...What an annoyance -- I'm so impressed that US Air comped all of the changes and hotel room for you.

I'm glad everything went quite smoothly (at least once it was all straightened out and you were able to write this clear and calm post for the benefit of others) and you were back on your way.

You'd think they would stamp a "travel by" date on the passport, like a "sell by" date on milk.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12368491071885320553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-69640372889263667182014-09-09T05:17:47.873-07:002014-09-09T05:17:47.873-07:00Hope you are on your way again!!!

Most countries have this stupid rule, which is just a way of getting more money out of you as you have to renew 6 months early!Julia in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241704887064002808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-8875137402823212522014-09-09T00:03:31.317-07:002014-09-09T00:03:31.317-07:00Bummer.

How are you to know? More...No you are not stupid. How are you to know? Moreover this is so arbitrary. It makes the expiration date meaningless when countries make up their own rules. It is kinda like going the speed limit of 55 but getting a ticket because you were going 50 and were close to it. That was nice of US Air to help out with rebooking, hotel etc. Hope this is the last and only snag and you have a wonderful trip and get many inspirations.

My sister, who has traveled LOTS, always says the first rule is to be flexible.

Four years ago our entire family went to London and Paris with no problems, even though my son's passport was expiring literally the week after our return. I was sweating it a little when we missed our flight home but nobody said a thing. Or maybe they don't care in those countries...margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11925557551539641686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-7159134260044516552014-09-08T14:06:26.450-07:002014-09-08T14:06:26.450-07:00Sorry for all the bother and delay.

Anyway, I hope you have a good time when you get there.<br />Sandy<br />I must look at my passport. I think it is coming up sometime soon and my dad will be 80 next year, so I should probably go to Maine to see him.<br />Sandy in the UKSandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-34088378202270949262014-09-08T13:05:47.982-07:002014-09-08T13:05:47.982-07:00Thanks for the info!
