Eleri’s passport expires in February 2014. The expiration date really seems to be just a date as most travel destinations require you have 6 months valid on your passport. Therefore, Eleri does not have a full 6 months on her passport for our October Holiday travel to Phuket, Thailand. We set up an appointment and pulled her from school to run to the American consultant to get a new passport. Both parents and the child must be present to get a new passport.

Here is Eleri’s passport photo from 5 years ago. She has her braids from our trip to Phuket.

Here is Eleri’s new passport photo – she has grown and changed in the past 5 years!

She had picked up two mosquito bites on her face at Lili’s house, along with her legs and arms. The one under her eye swelled up like someone had punched her in the eye. Her eye is “mostly” back to normal for her passport photo!
