| An excited Atlanta Passport Party participant... 23 February 2013, Omni Hotel at CNN Center |
Every year around this time, the US State Department's Bureau of Consular Affairs presents Passport Day in the USA, a Saturday when those who want to get or renew their passport can go to their local passport agency and, without an appointment, apply. This year, Passport Day in the USA goes down from 10am - 3pm on Saturday, March 9, 2013. #gotpassport?
This year, The Passport Party Project is going to celebrate Passport Day in the USA by partnering with travel bloggers in Philadelphia, New York, DC, Detroit, Chicago and Los Angeles so that 24 girls nationwide will get their first passports. Cool, isn't it?
And on that note...
It is my pleasure to introduce you to the committed travel bloggers facilitating the passport process and the girls that will benefit...
*Drumroll please*

We would love for you to join us on our quest to get passports in the hands of as many girls people as possible, so if you don't have a passport or you'd like to gift someone with a passport, please start here. (And don't forget to tell us about it!)
Safe travels...
