Passports

A couple of weeks ago we both filled out our United States passport applications for renewal.  Craig's old passport was expired and damaged.  The passport finally came through the mail and we had taken a look at the passport and didn't realize that the passport was computerized.  His picture was scanned onto the passport.  This must be a new way they are making passports.

My passport wasn't expired until August 2017, I figured I would just renew it so it would be up to date and would have a full 10 year book.  I haven't gotten my passport yet and hope to be getting it soon, hopefully this week.  I'm still undecided what to do with my United Kingdom of Northern Ireland Passport whether I should apply for it here in the United States or just wait until I get to Northern Ireland.  I would think it would be quicker and easier to get it in Northern Ireland.  I may just wait because I have to have a countersignature and I don't know anyone around here in Vermont.
