Your information is very helpful. I have a friend who is looking at cancelling an upcoming trip because they are having such a hard time with the airlines giving information about flying with a wheelchair. They are flying overseas to take a river cruise and they have been told they cannot take their wheelchair on the plane and gate check it- that it has to be shipped separately. They are afraid they will lose the wheelchair before they get to their embarkation port. I think they are being given the run around perhaps, and so I am seeking help and better information from folks on this board. I am definitely going to be doing some further research. You have given a wealth of information. Thank you so much.

Well, often that "one off" cruise becomes an addiction to crusing and then it's worth it to have that passport. My opinion? If you can get the passport before your date of travel- just get it.

People steal personalized signs? What on earth do they do with them? I only assume they are personalized because the big wooden sign had names on it.
