Lausanne- Thanks for sharing this. Particularly the bit on not needing passport for the cruise. I'm sure that'll come in handy at some point. Hope you're well this week. Cheers, -Thalia

A current passport would have solved this but she hasn't traveled out of country for decades so hadn't updated hers. I'm not sure if birth certificates have to be US, since we're not exactly sure why hers was not accepted considering it clearly stated she was born to US citizens. Sigh....

Oh no! Crisis averted, at least. I hope you all get an amazing do-over sometime in the near future :-)

Haha, yeah. I'm thinking a beach or mountain house rental is a much better bet for this crew.

Yikes. You kind of think they would have checked this Before you boarded.

Thankfully, we hadn't boarded. We were still in the terminal waiting for the cruise company to check with border patrol. Whew. It was a long day. LOL!

Wow, glad you were all still smiling. Hope you had some fun in Cocoa Beach. We lived in that area for ten years and it was nice.
