Diego and I have been seriously thinking about going to visit Peru in December. Diego finally has his residency and its high time that my in-laws meet their only grandchild. We started looking at flights and found some nice prices.
Then all of the sudden we realized...Lucia doesn't have a passport. My little 12-pound bundle of love isn't allowed to leave the USA yet. She needs a $120 passport. Then we had the ingenious idea to just get her Peruvian passport. Peruvian passports only cost $35. She could go to Peru with a her Peruvian passport. And since she has her Peruvian birth certificate, getting her passport should only take about 6 weeks.
The hard part would be coming back. Because even though she was born in the US, if she doesn't have a passport, she won't be allowed to come back to the US. I laughed a little thinking about Lucia being detained in the airport and not allowed back to officially enter the USA. I guess the same would happen to me, if for some reason I didn't have a passport coming back, right?
Looks like we're going to have to cave in and get her a US passport. And THEN we can go to Peru. :)
