I'm so happy!!! My passport is finally here and I'm ready to use it. My birthday is Oct 29th and really want to go out the country to celebrate. I'm a sucker for sightseeing and different food. Venice and Rome in Italy are my dream destinations. Any recommendations for a passport newbie lol?

Help a sister out

Did you get TSA Pre Check and Global Entry. If you didn't you will be waiting a long time leaving the airport and coming into the airport thru custom.

Airports are a mess right now with long waits as long as 5 hours coming and going if you are going to be in line with the rest of the regular people.

Don't travel domestically and internationally without both of them.

Hi Nina, congrats!

Is there any reason you can't go to Rome, Venice or Italy as your first trip(s)? They're great choices unless I'm missing something
