I should be landing right about now to change planes for the final leg to Victoria, Canada at this very moment and I just received the following email.

“We have finished processing your passport, and it has been printed.

Your passport application locator number is blah, blah, blah.

You paid for overnight delivery. This means you should receive your passport on or about 11/20/2011.

If you have any additional questions, you may contact the National Passport Information Center via e-mail at http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/npic/npic_896.html. Please include the above locator number. It will enable them to update you on the status of your application.

_{I don’t think these links are done properly. So representative of my experience with the passport department so far! Honestly. If I had had it in me to expect the worst I would have handled the passport appointment differently. Sometimes I am my own worst enemy!}
