At least I finally got enough motivation to replace my long-expired passport

[RidinWithHarris]

I paid the extra money to get it processed in two weeks.

A Facebook ad reminded me to do this. Damn, their tracking algorithm has got me pegged.

I don't know if I will leave the country, but I want my options open.

I don't know if I can find a better life elsewhere, what countries will take me, or how to afford healthcare in another country since I'm too old to be taken in for my employment value, and obviously haven't been paying a lifetime of taxes into another country's socialized medicine system.

What I do know is I'm deeply ashamed to be a part of this country anymore.

3. I rather doubt I'll be a very effective "fighter in the resistance"

And I'm just too disgusted with this place. If I stay, it'll probably for practical or financial reasons reasons, not because I want to play hero.

2. My husband, too.

I already renewed mine this last year.

4. No matter what, always have a valid passport

Just in case.

My wife does, too, and she's a German citizen living in Germany. My daughters have both German and American passports and so do their children. You can't be too careful.

5. We have plans to do a Rhine tour in late April.

Spoke with a friend last night, Spanish speaker, who found American English as troublesome, on a recent visit to Europe. She was ignored and chose to speak her native tongue.
Have insurance to cancel, but it is a college chum tour.
Bummed. Hope we will not be shunned.
