Passport

Ellie took her passport photo today with the nice US postal worker. I held her up while manage to stay out of the picture and Dan had her attention and successfully put a grin on her face. Her application is now in the mail, it should take about 2 weeks to get her passport. We will then book the trip to Europe and China in 2010. Two big trips for her to take, am curious to see how she will enjoy the international travel in business class.

There was a failed terrorist attempt to blow up an Northwest flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on X-mas day. The Canadians have already tighten the security control by announcing that they will hand check every carry on luggage. I am all supportive of appropriate security measures, but I wish they can truly find the bad guys without causing so much inconvenience for the regular commuters like myself. There will be so much more time I will have to waste going through security every week. Man, got to find a way to be more productive while waiting in the lines.
