is there such a thing as a good passport photo?

Yep. My daughter's.

Surely it's common courtesy to advise that there's a spoiler in your post?

It’s funny. Recently on entry to Australia my photo has been rejected and have had to go to counters. Which means I look worse than the photo. What the heck does that say!!!!

You flew in economy?

Nope no smile, no personality, as ugly as possible.....

I thought the definition of a passport was to allow you to travel the world without being recognised.

Normal look for me then!

My Drivers Licence photo is quite nice. I’ve found with my hair color and complexion that a black turtle neck works a treat. Lucky the only people seeing passports these days are machines and immigration officers. Do they count?

I'm sure they laugh at us behind the scenes.

Nothing wrong with economy. Some very important people fly economy. Plus why would would you want to be in the same cabin as the snobs up front?

New shortcuts! Just quickly flick any key downwards to get the character shown on the top of the key. Very useful for numbers, punctuation etc!!

Yes - I disabled Key Flicks as I cannot handle how cluttered the keyboard looked...

I think the ability to have a new passport photo after only a few years is the only benefit of the 5 year NZ passport!

Sadly Ron Tanberg has died aged only 74. I remember many of his cartoons.

Yes! I still have until July 19 on mine thankfully - which will see me through my later trip this year.

hmm - we are July 19 as well. We are booked to go to Antarctica in Jan 19, so I guess we should probably organise new ones after we come back from Tanzania, as we will be a bit tight on the 6 month rule.

I always worked on the theory it was so you looked the same in the photo as you did after a 20hr long haul flight.....

I think the kids are with anaroo? I’d go for Aladdin, or Hello Dolly with Bette Middler.

 

[Denali]

Yes, Hello Dolly! Loved the move, love Bette.
