I wish I could do some vaccine tourism. Unfortunately, my US passport is about to expire and I don't really have plans to renew it. I don't want to travel to the US any time soon and I'd have to go to the Embassy. My Chilean ID is good for travel within the region, but that has expired too and most of the region has fewer vaccines than us. The government extended its validity for internal use but it doesn't serve for travel. I was going to get my Chilean passport to go to Portugal, but of course that didn't happen. They are only good for 5 years, so I only wanted to get it when I needed it. I've mainly used my Chilean ID to travel around the region before COVID. Of course then I could pick COVID on the trip! Must be nice to be rich and be able to take private flights and be first in line for your vaccine. |
I am scheduled to get my first shot tomorrow (Pfizer). I would be willing to travel two weeks after I get both my shots so I am thinking about scheduling a trip to see my dad this year. Though I know it can take a long time to get it via mail (this is how I renew my US passport)--can you renew a passport via the mail? I think everyone should have a passport. With what is going on in my country lately, I feel like some parts of Mexico (and I assume Canada) are safer than many areas in the US. Perhaps this is just my anxiety, but the world seems strangely unstable and like things could change quickly for the better or the worse. All the barbed wire around our capital makes me feel like I am in a third world country!
