Hi all, just thought I would let you know that either losing your passport or having it stolen is a very costly exercise. Our house was burgled and the safe was wrench out of the wall, of course it contained our passports, sigh. It has cost us $514 altogether to get another 2 passports. $193 for each passport and $64 each extra because it was stolen, like we invited a burgler in and asked that they take them !!!
There is no appeal against this, you just have to pay up, so maybe we should all keep them in a bank vault.
A quick question also, might sound stupid, but what is a bale ?
Cheers Maureen
