[QUOTE="donna723, post: 112119, member: 1883"] I don't profess to know a lot about this - far from it. But I do know that, depending on the destination, you don't even [i]need[/i] a passport to go on most cruises now! My daughter and sister in law had booked a 7-day cruise for last September, going to ports in the Bahamas, Mexico and several places in South America. At the time, you needed a passport for this kind of trip and my daughter had applied for hers way last February because it was taking up to six months to get one (sister in law already had his). What they told her, the passport was NOT to go on the cruise, it was to be able to get back in to the country when they returned! With all the new regulations, the passport offices were hopelessly log-jammed, people having to cancel long-planned vacations, etc. And while she was waiting for hers to come in, they CHANGED the regulations and she no longer needed one to go on their planned cruise. She went ahead and got it anyway because sister in law travels out of the country once in a while for business and, with a passport, she could go with him sometimes. Also, when applying for her passport, she needed piles and piles of documentation, some that I needed to get from our local courthouse here and mail to her, and lots of other things she had to send off for before she could even apply for the passport. She needed proof of every address she's ever had, a certified copy of her birth certificate, marriage license, even paperwork on a name change she had as a kid. It takes forever to round all this up. Would your ex have all these? I'd be checking up too! This all sounds very, very suspicious! [/QUOTE]
