Documents! Documents!

And so it's time to recheck passports. Actually it's long overdue as this should be one of the first To Do's since we're both based in Dubai and we'll have our wedding in the Philippines. I've ticked this as done on my checklist without actually doing it (Now, I wonder why I did so). And come month of May, I received an email from our Human Resources Department saying that my passport is due to expire in July! Wuhoo! 4 months before our wedding!! And since I've been hearing a lot of stories about the Consulate here in Dubai delivering slow service I got panicked.

But well, being the research geek me I looked it up and searched my best friend Google on procedures for Passport Renewal here in Dubai, UAE. And here's what I found: Procedures for Passport Renewal in Dubai

It's not that difficult although the waiting to for an appointment can drive you nuts especially if you're in a hurry to get it over with. Nevertheless, I got an appointment for July 22 so Noel and I waited and prepared. I also planned to have an immediate request for extension as I'm worried that the new passport might not arrive in time before our departure on October 26. But the staff there was polite enough to assure us that the passport will be received after 6 weeks maximum and did not let me pay extra for extension. I'm glad as that's less expense for us.

So, that's one To Do done and we're only 186 days to go. Whew!

We took the train to Al Qusais going to the Philippine Consulate in Dubai
