This Travel Error Has Caused U.S. Passports to Be Voided Mid-trip--What to Do If It Happens to You
Geez . . . one more thing to worry about!
I always keep my passport on me when traveling internationally, although once at my destination I lock my passport in the hotel room's safe. Yes, I know that staff can probably get into the safe (which rarely happens), but that beats taking it along on my excursions and risk losing it.
Glad to hear that this occurrence is rare, but I'd really hate to be the person that it happens too. It's not always easy to get the the U.S. Embassy, depending on where you're vacationing.
