Passports... Fly me to the moon!

 Just a quick reminder; double check your passport expiration date!  France requires that your US Passport be valid for at least 3 months beyond your intended date of departure from their country!

So for most of you, that means your passport must be valid almost into November!  If yours isn't and need to renew your US Passport, Right now the US Department of State is saying that processing times are 6 to 8 weeks...  Some of you have told us you're departing for France in about 14 weeks... So we suggest you take a look now and make sure you're passport is good... They won't even consider letting you fly internationally without a valid passport... 

If you do need to renew, we're attaching a link here from the US Dept of Sate on how: click here 

Sometimes these take a lot longer than they say they do...  We've had guests have some  really close calls...  One guy recently had to call his congressman for help and got it the day before he flew out... We would suggest you choose "expedited processing" as well as "expedited shipping" to get your new passport much faster... and the Post Office has special "Priority Mail" envelopes that go to a special address (see pic)
