The Importance of Passports

Greetings,

I hope you are getting excited, in about 6 weeks we will in Greece and Turkey on a trip of a lifetime.

I am writing to remind you of the importance of your passport. You must keep it with you at all times. You will not be allowed to board the airplane to depart on our trip if you do not have your passport. So remember to always know where it is and to keep it handy always. Periodically on the trip we will be asking for you to hold your passport up in the air (usually in the mornings when we get on the bus) This may seem silly but it we know from experience that people sometimes think they know where their passport is but sometimes it is not there. Better to spend a minute finding it and holding it up than hours trying to get from a hotel hundreds of miles away.

I have passport information for almost all of you. I still need information from 3 people:

Kyle Lymberopoulous
Jeremy DeBord
Jerrigayle Benson

Can you three please email me and let me know the status of your passport process?

Also as soon as you get your passports please email with the information. Thanks
