Visiting Southeast Asia
well, there is a good chance I will be going to a few badly damaged cities on a tour for future relief trips. Having never left Tennessee and the 8 closest states (AL, MS, SC, NC, GA, KY, IN, FL) and never being on an airplane, this will be a first on many different fronts. I do hope I can put everything in place before the 25th. getting a passport will be the hardest.
does anyone know anything about prioritypassports.com?
it seems that for as little as 77 extra dollars, they can get a passport in 10-14 days, and for a lot more money, 1-4 days.....Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -Albert Einstein

Re: Visiting Southeast Asia
My passport took 2 weeks with no priority. I believe if you show them a plane ticket, they will prioritize it. But I am no expert on this manner, so hopefully someone else will chime in.

Re: Visiting Southeast Asia
I would just go to the post office and do it through them. Mine took two weeks and I didn't ask for rush processing or anything...

Re: Visiting Southeast Asia
Your US Representative and/or Senator can help you and if you're in a rush to make a humanitarian trip, they may be interested.

Re: Visiting Southeast Asia
Are you going with the Armed Forces or a charity or something, or is this a private trip?

Re: Visiting Southeast Asia
my church is scouting for humanitairian relief efforts.
with the hurricanes in Florida, we raised 108,000.00 plus 10,000 man hours of free reconstruction.
this put us in a position to get a lot of favor with fema, redcross, etc. while it is with a charitible organization, it is also a "personal" trip, since there will be no immediate effort on this trip.
BTW, thanks for everyones, help, but this trip was to be 6 days, and there are things here that cannot be left during that time frame. plus, @ 2000.00 per person, plus 250 for a rush passport, I cannot ask the church to pony that up just so I can go see Asia. I will go soon enough. Thanks for everyones responses, and my passport will be here in 2 weeks thanks to the rush processing.Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former. -Albert Einstein
