[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s $110.

We haven’t been able to travel anywhere much. My last time internationally was in 1998. Yep.  A good amount of domestic travel for family though. All of my travel budget has gone there.

I have an intl trip booked for July![/quote]

It's $110 for the book + $35 for the acceptance fee. So $145 total.[/quote]

true, but I don't think it's the cost that holds americans back from getting one, it's lack of interest.[/quote]

You must be one of those who think that they are middle class on an HHI of $300K and think that living in a SFH in Bethesda or McLean is standard Middle Class living.

You are out of touch with the reality that the average family of four does not have $580 to spend on something that they will not use before it expires.  Very few people can afford to travel out of the country on a whim just because they got a good deal.  Most average Americans have to plan for an international trip and will get passports as part of the planning and will budget for the passports as a part of the trip, rather than just a staple to have lying around, just on the off chance that they get the opportunity to go on a trip out of the country and can afford it.

I know a lot of people who have to budget for a trip to the beach, so are unlikely to be able to afford a trip out of the country without some budgeting.[/quote]

um... over 60% of Americans don't have a passport.  Some probably because they can't afford it.  I was just speculating that an even bigger reason main is they really don't have any interest in traveling overseas, and many of the above posts conform that.  [/quote]
