Boring Travel Tips

My passport shows me with purple pox. Hasn't gotten me kicked out of any countries yet, but I decided it would be best to get a new one today. It would kind of stink to get off the plane in Beijing after eighteen hours only to have them put me right back on another plane. I love me my worst case scenarios. Luckily, they have a new passport agency that's opened in Colorado, so I don't have to wait too long (since I need to send in my application by next week.).

Word to those with the common sense I lack. It isn't a good idea to put your passport directly in a money belt when you're in a tropical climate (or maybe I just got the wrong type of money belt). From then on I've been storing my passports in a zip-lock bag of some sort. I'm paying more attention to travel tips, definitely can save chugh-change.
