Default Passports

Curious to see how many of the people here have passports and who has
visited outside of their home country as a civilian.
Pilots being the more adventurous types, I'm curious.
As noted before, I've traveled extensively outside the USA and have had
probably 6 or more passports that ran out of time but I have a current
one good for a few more years.
Anyone???
Cheers

I travel pretty regularly to Canada (over the NY state border, either north
to Montreal or west to Niagara Falls and Toronto) and have yet to get a
passport. On my list of things to do, but so far the item remains
unchecked.

I have an expired passport that is full of stamps from the days when
they would actually stamp your passport when traveling throughout
Europe.
I have been to Canada, Germany, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland,
Austria, Italy, France, Netherlands, New Foundland and the
Bahamas.

If I win the lottery, I plan on going all over the world in my
new (to me) Commander 115. Then when I've covered
everywhere with a runway, I'll buy Cessna Caravan Seaplane
and do all the rest.

Aside from I don't know how many passports I had growing up, I'm on my third one
as an adult and the one I have now is current. I have traveled to Germany,
Austria, Switzerland, Holland, England, Ireland, the Bahamas, Cuba, Grand
Cayman, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Montserrat and Antigua. I have lived in Japan,
the Azores, and of course the United States.

I got the short end of the stick in my family... the others are better traveled
than I. And I'm the one with the pilot's license....

Europe, Canada, Mexico. Wouldn't be without it, since my military ID no
longer seems to be sufficient.

I've got 2 current ones. One Canadian (I just became a citizen) and
one Dutch. The reason for getting Canadian citizenship is because I
can't easily fly inot the US with a Dutch passport... hence I had to
take a very *difficult* written test (note sarcasm) to become a
Canadian.

My mistake, I forgot I had already listed Canada.
What I should have put there was Iceland.
But I got mind twisted, which is kind of like
tongue twisted.

I guess next you'll be correcting the guy that
put Puerto Rico as a country.

Here's one for you.
How many countries in North America?

Germany, Czech (?) Republic, less than a year after it went "free,"
Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Canada, Bahamas, Bermuda.

I always keep a current passport, as you never know when you might want to
go somewhere. g
