passport

My new passport arrived in the mail today, so I can once again make travel plans more definite than "I would like to go to Canada sometime this spring." I have signed on the appropriate line, and put the new passport number and expiration date into Evernote.

A US passport comes with a "where are my documents?" leaflet, explaining that the State Department may send your passport book and passport card (if you applied for both) and previous passport (if any) back separately. I knew this, so was pleased to get the passport book first.
