Thinking or planning a trip out of the country this summer, fall, or in the near future? I am. Well, sort of. A small part of my cruise itinerary will be making a stop in another country, so I'll need to present a U.S. passport. After letting my passport expire about 20 years ago, I renewed it last year so I could take a short cruise to Bermuda.
