Just add me to the list
Of people who are pissed off at the Passport Authority- apparently they are able to assure a Senator's aid that something will be done (i.e. passport printed and mailed on Wednesday) and then just ignore that such an assurance was made. They are also able to give no rhyme or reason as to why this happened or why this choice was made and offer few to no solutions. I have also learned to never, ever, trust anything 'promised' to have happen by anyone in this whole process. Whether it be the simple return of a phone call or that one would actually be able to make the trip as planned...I also love that somewhere in the process of putting through the new passport legislation, right before the summer travel season, no one in congress thought that there would be a huge push for passports. Way to have planning and forethought folks...
needless to say, I'm likely not leaving for Africa until at least a couple of days after the remainder of my group leaves. Any tips for traveling to Africa alone? Also any trips for keeping boredom at bay on super long flights?

Pray there are movies and booze on the flight. Bring 1 and 5 dollar bills to purchase head phones, drinks, and food.
Also, when you arrive at the airport to check in, look to see if they are offering ticket upgrades. And think seriously about it. I recently upgraded to first class for an additional 90 bucks, and it was well worth the price of admission. Comfy chairs, free food and drinks, and fucking space made the flight zoom by.
