50 Days And Counting.....

With all the turmoil around the world I decided it would be a good idea to register our trip with Foreign Affairs.  They have a website where you can supply your travel information.

I sent them an email asking how to go about registering a trip of 4 months which will visit 31 countries and 51 ports.  They directed me to the link above and specified that I would need to enter identification for Myster and myself along with the information for each port in every country visited.  A lot of keying!

This morning I decided to tackle the job.  I only had to enter the identification details (name, passport info, emergency contact) once for each of us.  Then I moved on to the port by port listing.  I got as far as Moorea, French Polynesia at the end of January, 2016 when I reached the "trip maximum".  No further information could be added to the registration.  That leaves 3 months worth of ports unlisted.  I sent a message to Foreign Affairs asking how to go about adding the additional information to the registration.  We'll see how they respond.  Their system is not really designed for a trip like this.

And the planning continues.....
