I don't know if this is still true, but when my mom was sailing the Caribbean, she said Americans could travel to Cuba - we just can't spend money there.
I still don't understand double stamped. Sounds like stamping it twice. I don't understand what stamping it in Coz or Belize has to do with it. Those we be stamps for leaving the country and/or coming into the country. Where does Cuba come into the picture?I think it's in case your passport is checked, and if you fly back into Coz or Belize. They use an ink stamper in both Coz and Belize, but as RJ stated, it's a non-event if you fly out of Canada and Cuba.

Well, I've been called for jury duty again. I found it interesting that potential jurors have a choice of either completing the personal info on the form, and using their own stamp to send it in (no prestamping) or to fill out the form online. I'm cheap, so I went online. There was a warning that all the manditory info that we would HAVE to submit would become public record. A lot of personal information. This makes me very uncomfortable, why would they do this with so much identity theft out there?

Wow ... I sure wouldn't do it. Giving information online is something I stay away from. I would rather use a stamp and mail it or better yet, hand deliver it.
What kind of nosy questions do they ask?Problem is, all the info becomes public record, whether it's online, mailed, or hand delivered. That's what makes me so mad. It's all entered into the same data base.
And it's a crime if you don't comply with jury duty or fill out the form.

Another advantage to old age. I can no longer be called for Jury Duty.
Jurors names and personal info here are always kept private. Not due to ID theft, but retaliation in case of a guilty verdict.
In MA we have the option to change your date of service once. Last time I got called, I changed the date to the Friday before a holiday weekend. The judges all take off early for the holiday and you don't get called.
What is the age cut off, Addie? Is it the same all over the country? I told DH that and he said it is not true. Neither of us has ever gone for jury duty. He got a summons once but when he called they said he did not have to go. I know people older than I am who have gone for jury duty. I am 67, they were a few years older.
Lol, in my brain, the sooner the better.
I usually pack clothes the day before. I have a 5 pocket plastic organizer that I start filling before trips, this will have hotel confirmations, boarding passes, rental car confirmations, passports etc.. In the order that I will need them. This gets setup in the hallway about a month ahead and I drop stuff in it as I get it. I'll have phone numbers for my credit cards, including international if needed in case my wallet is lost or stolen. I try to cover all of the bases.....
