We’re on the downhill slide to departure date so I’m doing the check, double check and triple check to make sure all is done and I don’t leave anything behind. Some of the places we want to visit insist on photo ID, preferring passport, which is unfortunate as my passport photo makes me look like I am a long lost member of some mafia family.
The holiday starts in Istanbul where we’ll spend a couple of days and then we join the cruise. Today I had to create our boarding passes which included more photo ID. No problem. I took a nice little snap (I thought) making sure hair was lightly tousled to give me that “don’t care” look. Affixed a Mona Lisa smile (took ages to master that one) and then posted it to the boarding pass. It was rejected. Note to self: read photo instructions first. Apparently they rejected it because I was smiling and they didn’t like the shoji blind background. Re-did the photo but I won’t be posting that one. I look quite grim.
The image below is the one they rejected. I like my shoji blind!

Tomorrow I’ll be culling my travel clothes collection. Riveting stuff, really.
