See if you can find:

Funny, if sometimes a little unlikely!

And when we say we get 2 weeks, it doesn't mean 14 days,
it means 10. People generally get 2 weeks after a year or so
and they start adding more weeks at 10 or 15 years. People aren't
staying in jobs as long as they used to, so long vacation allotments
are being scarcer.

That's much pricier than what we pay here - but on reflection, that's
only $16.50 per year. Some people spend (almost) that per month to
access Usenet, so I don't think it would exactly break the bank - and
at least if an urgent need arose to have a passport (death of a family
member elsewhere in the world, for example), one wouldn't have the
hassle (and extra expense) of applying for an emergency travel
document/passport.

Sheldon, ya know I luvs ya - but I'd appreciate it you didn't take it
upon yourself to edit my posts before quoting and responding to them. If I
wanted an editor, I'd hire one - and I hate to mention this, but you
wouldn't make my short-list of prospective editors.

In article ,
[email protected] says...

IIRC, someone asked for reasons why would anyone who no longer wishes
to travel maintain a passport; we replied with examples.#

I've noticed that

I haven't seen any European here who posted anything to create that
completely false impression. Especially, the part about mainly
travelling NS not EW, is ludicrously wrong. Two of the top 10
cheap holiday package destinations for Brit families are Florida and
Thailand.

I'm mid-country - nothing foreign is "close."

As for passports, they are an expense to get and keep up - for a lot
of us, for no reason at all, other than some cache that might be
attached to having one....a driver's license works just as well for
identification. I had a passport when I was married and we traveled
regularly; but there's no point for me to have one now, just to have
one. Most people don't just decide on a whim to suddenly take a
foreign trip, at least people I know and know of.

There are far more hotels and homes in the US with bidets and heated

not in the trailer parks you'd visit... the only time you bathe is
when someone treats your greasy ass to a stay at an American style
hotel.

Didn't say "rich"... said "that kind of rich"... huge distinction.


Many folks don't have THAT KIND of disposable income... a $900 plane
ride might mean the family doesn't eat for 2-3-4 months.

Personally I could well afford it, but I wouldn't spend $900 to fly to
Australia, in fact I wouldn't fly to Australia if you bought my
ticket.
