Last Friday, April 9, 2010, my friend called me as she was traveling to visit her daughter. She was excited because she had just been entered into a chance to win a get away to Sandals at the the Bahamas through a radio station contest. She asked me to look up the details of it because the drawing was later that day. When I did I saw that the trip was coming up in like two weeks and required that the winner already have a passport. Since my friend didn't have a passport, I looked up the details and saw that it took a minimum of two to three weeks expedited.
It got me to thinking that I should look in to getting one in case there was ever a good deal on a cruise or something. One of the questions on the passport form was in regards to whether you've ever had a passport before and if so what is the number. I had one when I was in high school so I wondered if I even had the thing anymore and looked for it when I got home.
I had gone to Germany when I was in high school and the passport was among my souvenirs. I was looking through my stuff from the trip and reminiscing. On the last day of my trip at the Frankfurt airport, I had grabbed a paper. As I was looking at this old paper, I looked at the date. It was April 9, 1980. So I looked at my passport, and it only had one stamp from when I reentered the country and it was April 9, 1980.
What was the odds that exactly 30 years to the day, I would be looking at my passport because I was considering another passport?
