Travel Tip Number One URGENT PLEASE READ

Istanbul, Turkey

Greetings

I will be posting "travel tips" as our plans move forward. I have traveled several times overseas and picked up a few handy and important things that should make our trip go smoother.

Here is travel tip Number One.

1. Everyone should check their passports this week.

2. If you do not have a passport you should go to the post office now and apply immediately. You will need 2 passport pictures a birth certificate and drivers license. PLEASE DO THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

3. If you already have a Passport LOCATE IT NOW, Actually find it and look at it. This will do two things, it will make sure you can find your passport and you can also check the date on your passport. Make sure your passport is valid until at least August of 2006.

4. When you find your passport please send an email to me with your Name as it appears on your passport, The place it was issued (e.g. Washington, DC) and your passport number. Please email this information to me and Dr. Hoffman as soon as possible. We need this information to begin reserving our tickets.

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER IT IS CRUCIAL.
