      I’m glad I got one… we were supposed to go to Myanmar for a big wedding, but got shut down for covid, aaand they got hit with a military coup. :(

      Passport’s still good though!

      Passport proper is still kinda expensive, but you can get a passport card for $65 for a first-time applicant. Good for a decade, Real ID compliant, works for all US land border crossings and domestic flights. That’s not exactly cheap, but it’s not that much more than a License in California.

      But not too poor to spend holidays in one of the most expensive countries in the world?

        I don’t really have many vacations. Mainly the cheap beach across my state. But it’s been a few years since I traveled.
