I have a passport...
Sep. 13th, 2006 10:50 amMy family is one of contrasts.
My sister has lived overseas for the best part of a decade. She's currently in Yemen, but has also been in Afghanistan and Indonesia. And might be off to Sudan soon.
I just got my first ever passport. I've never had one before. I've received packages that are better traveled than me... And now I'm about to apply for a Dutch one! I probably have sufficient Dutch ancestors to entitle me to one. Hmmmmm... European Union Passport... Long working holiday here I come!

however... had my father not moved overseas to marry an american woman i wouldn't have travelled overseas till i was at least 18 i would imagine as both of my parents are afraid of flying they don't do it all that often
dutch passport eh? i wonder how hard they are to get????
i've been trying to get a british passport - my dad was born over there - but being a bastard myself makes this rather difficult.
boo hiss!!! (to the evil consulate)

I don't think you're a bastard :-)
