ABOUT THE SENATOR CONSTITUENT SERVICES ISSUES & LEGISLATION PRESS CONTACT - - - - - NEWS FROM BARBARA BOXER, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA - - - - - February 27, 2013 Dear Friend: On this “Passport Day in the USA,” the State Department is giving U.S. citizens the chance to apply for passports on Saturday, March 9th, from 10am to 3pm without an appointment.  Normally local Passport Agencies see customers only by appointment, but on Passport Day you can walk in and receive routine service – or get expedited service for an additional fee if you need your passport in a hurry. You can take advantage of this opportunity at Regional Passport Agencies and at many other facilities throughout the state of California.  To find the location nearest you, please click here. As you may know, it has become increasingly important for U.S. citizens to have passports because travelers crossing the international border must now have them to reenter the United States. For more information about Passport Day in the USA, please click here or browse the Passport Agency website at travel.state.gov.

WORLD TRAVEL GUIDE!!! NEW "WIKIVOYAGE!!"

Posted:  15 Jan 13

This morning, I discovered a great new idea from WikiMedia, called WikiVoyage.  Here is their welcome page, which explains all about it, but I've also snipped a few excepts to give you a quick sense of what they're up to.  Sounds like another winner from the creative side of our "electronic universe:"

Welcome to Wikivoyage! We, the Wikivoyagers who've made it, hope that you enjoy what you see and that you join us in making a free, up-to-date, complete and reliable world-wide travel guide.

This is a reader-created website; all the information you see in Wikivoyage was contributed by Internet users just like you. We're trying to create, illustrate, and edit a travel guide for the entire world, and we need your help. It's a humongous job. As they say, though, "Many hands make light work;" anything you can do to contribute is appreciated. You don't have to be an "expert" in travel; you just have to be interested enough to get started.
