Soooooo, things. Did I mention that I lost track of dates/times, and I'm actually flying out to Copenhagen on the 26th, not the 27th? The 26th, as in the day of the deadline? I am a genius. (This was booked like this so I could have Sunday in CPH, in the hopes of fighting jet lag. I just somehow forgot that the 26th was OMG the deadline 26th. It'll be okay. I don't have to be at the airport until late afternoon/early evening, so I'll have most of the day for any last-minute nonsense.
Of course, that's not taking into account that a U.S. traveler can possibly denied entry to Europe if their passport is 3 to 6 months away from expiring. For Denmark, some sources say 3 months, some say 6. Guess who just found this out. Guess who's passport expires in 3.5 months? Guess who found out that you can get an expedited passport if your travel in in under two weeks, but ... it takes 8 business days to get the new passport. What? Ahhhh bureaucracy.
So. I've got an appointment at the expedited passport office for Monday, where I'm going to say that I need my passport by Thursday the 25th, and if they can't guarantee that they can do that, I'm not going through with the rest of the appointment. What happens if I can't enter into Europe? Um, dunno?
Hi, I'm stressed. Wait, no. I'm beyond stressed. I'm pretty much numb at this point, and would like to retreat to a cave for a while. :: gibbers ::
