Sadly the cost of passports, visas & immunizations really have to be considered when planning a trip abroad! I was so overwhelmed with the nitty gritty of being allowed into the country, it took away some of the travel joy. Fortunately that is just about behind us and next we will we start focusing on the nitty gritty of packing and that ever present feeling of "what am I forgetting?" Ahhh....travel joys.
