Don't you hate it...
... when you lose your passport four days before you're meant to leave the country?
Just another reminder of how messy my life is. I'm up-turning my inbox trays, I'm sifting through unpacked bags from 6 months ago, I'm calling my parents, I'm looking in the many 'sort later' boxes at work.... not one sign of embossed blue....
Guess I'll be travelling as an American (Dad's got that passport on his passport shelf), but it won't let me back into the country.
I can see all members of my family rolling their eyes right now.
But if all things go according to my not-plan of 'everything just works out in the end' then I'll leave on Thursday for the delights of the above three foods' countries of origin..

Dear me, I did that once too: travelled as an EU citizen and had to get a new passport while overseas in order to get back into the country. One thing I forgot that would probably have been easier is just to get holiday visa! Ie as an American, get a holiday visa to "visit" Australia while you're away. Quicker and cheaper than getting a passport quickly.

oui! I have found my passport but I was in the process of applying for a holiday visa and a new one!
I'm away for a month (almost). 2 sleeps to go...
