\tToday I got an email from the agency that takes care of all of our official French government paperwork. They cannot get me a new carte de sejour (the French id card I must have to live here) because my passport expires in June.<\/p>\n
\tI\u0092m going to London next week. We\u0092re going to Germany 3 weeks after that. We\u0092re going to Italy two and a half weeks after that. We haven\u0092t gone anywhere outside France since November. It would have been really nice to have known that my passport expiration is too close for the French government\u0092s liking.<\/p>\n
\tYou cannot expedite a passport application from here. The consulate says it takes 1-2 weeks. That\u0092s already faster than the estimated time for an expedited passport within the United States. Oh, sure, you can lose your passport and go and have an emergency temporary one issued. I know someone who\u0092s done that…. (see entries for 5 july 2007)<\/p>\n
\tI guess I\u0092m going to send in my paperwork (and my current passport) the day I get back from London… then cross my fingers that the new one arrives in time for the trip to Germany. I\u0092ll be afraid to leave my house and miss the delivery. It\u0092s gonna be a long 3 weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
