I am a bit obsessive about the docs.
Two Stories:
Last year going to Ireland/England with our two girls. They needed their passports renewed. Departure date 6/29. One arrived in may. The other not until FOUR days before.
My brother was sailing to Italy from NY on the Leonardo DaVinci. Driving from DC to NY. 1/2 there he realized he forgot the boat ticket. They Held the boat for him! this was the 1970's.
I'll check 'em 50 times, too.
Have a Tiggerific Time!
