Have passport ...

... will travel?

I'm curious.  

How many Americans have passports?



I tried to google it and came up with a number of different answers ... the most common being that about 18% of American citizens are current passport holders.

Does that number surprise you?  Does it shock or bother you?  Does it not even cross your mind at all?

What's the deal ... you think?

In my opinion, a passport is your key to the world.  Why not have one in your possession so that the possibilities are LIMITLESS?  I feel that passports are truly one of the BEST gifts you can give your children.  Why do SO few Americans have this?

Would love to open up some discussion about the subject.  Do YOU have one? 

Why or why not?
