Update: I'll be a little late

Crap.

Just after I posted the last one, I discovered that my passport expires in April. In case anyone else except my moronic self wasn't aware of this, you need to have at least six months left on your passport to travel around. So I ran myself down right away to Singapore Immigration to see if I could get a last minute extension.

Nope.

Best they could do is to issue me a new passport tomorrow afternoon, which means I'm going to have to push my flight back 24 hours or so. So I'll be in about 8pm on Friday night instead of the Thursday evening. Bummer.

I'll be there. Just a little later than scheduled.

It depends on the country and the immigration officers. I managed to slip into the US with 4 months left on a passport with nothing more than a few stern words from an INS guy. But I wouldn't recommend it.

That seems daft. Surely if you have longer left on your passport than the return date on your ticket, there should not be a problem. What do they expect you to do with the other 5 3/4 months?

Gah, that sucks!

Hope you get everything sorted out ASAP.

Yikes. Well, glad you can still make it -- see you there.

How ridiculous - and how arbitrary. Oh well, whenever you do get here I believe we have a whole stack of packages for you, so there's that to look forward to!

Why have an expiration date...

when it's not the real expiration date?

(This makes me wonder if I should trust the dates on food. "Good until September 2007" maybe means if I don't eat it by June, it'll kill me?)
