I Heart the U.S. Passport Services

I normally wouldn't blog about something like this, however I am completely taken aback by the efficiency and speediness of the U.S. Passport Services. A few months ago, my dear cousin Katie pointed out that England is about the same flying distance from Rhode Island as California. Immediately, I started looking into flights to London. Only problem? My passport is still sporting my fabulous maiden name and not my equally fabulous new married name thus suspending any international travel. So 6 days ago, I rounded up my important information and scampered off to our local post office to apply for a new passport. I paid the normal $75 fee and was assured that I would see my new passport in 6 weeks or even 3 if I was lucky. Having no immediate plans to skip town, I gave the post man a thumbs up and we went our separate ways. Well today my passport came, 6 days later, 6 days people! I don't know about you, but I am incredibly impressed. I don't know if its because they have recovered from this summer's influx of passport applications, streamlined their processes, or just plain want the Coyer's to leave the country but I am incredibly pleased with their service. To the U.S. Passport Services, I salute you, keep up the good work!
