You know you are a Rickman Diva if you are willing to get that blasted passport with all my secrets that even I cannot read from my genetic code to be allowed into the USA only to be able to see Alan on that stage that he might be showing up on.

Up to now I refused to have my passport changed. I really do not know why the USA need a sample of my genetic code to let me into their country.

Ups,
ähm,
sorry.

It would be only for going into the USA, subjects of the USA do not need that. You do not even need an identity card or other regulized way of identification. My passport is valid till about 2011, so If I leave my fingerprints I should be able to go.

Sorry for the uproar.

Oh, that's good to know regarding the passports!! I was thinking there was a major violation of human rights going on and it whipped my activist Aquarian tendancies into an uproar, LOL!!

And yes, Jackie.... Kevin Costner was making a rather sad attempt at an accent. My 7 year old son can do a better one (of course 50% of the time we watch the BBC or films made in Britain, so I guess he's bound to pick it up.)

If only Costner had thought of that...

I have lived on the Canada/US border pretty much all of my life and have therefore crossed many, many times for shopping or dinner or vacation by both land and sea (St.Lawrence river). I do have a valid passport but we still do not need a passport to enter the US or re-enter Canada by land or sea. I use mine anyway because it shortens delays at the border. Here is the current info for US citizens. "Canada technically does not require a passport for US citizens arriving by plane to Canada, however, the US does require a passport to get back in; therefore no passport - no boarding a plane to Canada. US citizens arriving in Canada by land or water do not need a passport until at least summer 2009." Both Canadians and Americans crossing the border by land or sea must have ID with at least one having a picture but, again, a passport makes things much easier.

I think I would feel more comfortable with one, just in case....
I want a passport, just so I will feel like a world traveler!!
so, Magenta, are you coming for a visit? or just getting ready for when Alan is maybe going to be on stage???
I'll give them whatever samples they want Exclamation

just so I can get to the UK!!

Semp: from what I've seen in pictures, that is such a beautiful area. are you near Boldt Castle?? I would love to visit there, that whole area looks so beautiful. there's also a very long bridge there, sorry, don't remember the name, but I have a thing for bridges....(weird again, huh?)

WOW...yea, that's the bridge! It's so beautiful! the whole area is just so pretty, all those trees and waterways...so different from where I live.
Not that we don't have trees, we do, but so many were cut down to make way for farmland so many years ago, it's hard to believe they were ever there.

and the story of Boldt Castle is beautiful...and sad. I just love architecture, and old buildings, and yes bridges....
that's one thing I loved about NYC (and Chicago and New Orleans) I walked around with my camera just taking pics of all these buildings that had so much character. I have one pic of a NY building that I have no idea where it is, or what it is, but I love it!
I don't know what my bridge obsession is...

Here is an incredible bridge in France:

and an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millau_Viaduct

I really want to drive across this bridge someday. (Mr. Bean did on his holiday!)
