Passport

My passport arrived in the mail finally!  It was so strange sending it off to be renewed. I am so conditioned to never have it leave my possession. But I'm good now - I can leave the country now, anytime I want. 

Only they didn't send back my old passport. They said it may be delivered separately. I sure hope so since I want it as a memento for all my trips. I was thinking about it on my bike ride into work this morning and between work travel and vacations there are quite a bit of trips in there. 

From my multiple trips to the Middle East for work - Dubai and Abu Dahbi, traveling to Scotland and the island or Ireland, traveling to the "island" of Costa Rica and my trips to London, all for work. 

And then my first visa for India. And all my European trips: Paris + Iceland, Spain + Portugal, Frankfurt + Sweden, Cottbus + Poland + Slovakia + Olamaq + Prague

I feel like I'm forgetting some places - that's why I need my old passport back. Fingers crossed it arrives soon.
