something does smell here - &quot;<i>he has travelled quite a bit</i>&quot; yet says he called the State Dept?? Doesn't make any sense no matter how you slice it. Sure would like to know the <u>real</u> story, but we likely won't hear it since redhedgurrl has declared it a &quot;done subject&quot; . . . . .

Not sure if this is the same thing, but on my last trip to Europe I logged onto the state dept and filled out their travel registration form. https://travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs/ui/ I did it in case I had an emergency overseas. Also I was originally planning to travel solo and felt it would help me out in an emergency.

Hi - really - I am not a troll - I have given and recieved good info on this message board. There is no hidden agenda - I just wanted to ask the questions because of what my friend told me, and now that he has cleared it up - and I don't know all of his details about how this happened - I didn't want anyone to think I still needed any feedback at all. Please just let it go. Thanks -

rehedgurrl,
I just wanted to say that I have had thissame experience of the self-named PHd's of Travel...which I consider (piled higher and deeper)beat an issue to death when I posted an honest question. I am glad it is clear (for you and your friend) and happy travels to your friend!
