Woman Leaves Boyfriend Behind For The Bahamas

Author Mike O'Brian

It got down to travel time and she had warned him! So guess what, the woman leaves the boyfriend at the airport for the Bahamas! Was she right in doing so? Would you have done the same thing? She kept reminding him to update his passport! And when it was time to leave, he hadn’t so guess what? Was the woman wrong for leaving her boyfriend at the airport?

That was the email this morning into The Mike & Carla Morning Show. It was a hot topic and the boyfriend got very little sympathy. Especially knowing that the woman had kept reminding him to get his passport updated. All he kept saying was, “…don’t worry, I’ll get it done!” So, guess what? When they were at the airport and he couldn’t get through because of an expired passport, she took off without him to the Bahamas!

Was the woman right in would leaving the boyfriend at the airport?

Now most women agreed that if it was reversed, the man would have stayed. Even Mike O’Brian said that men wouldn’t be able to handle the fallout when they got back. However, on the flipside, even Carla Rea said that most women are afraid to call their boyfriends “idiots”! For that reason, most everyone agreed that the girlfriend was good to go!

One listener even said that she was hoping the girlfriend hooked up with somebody on vacation knowing her current boyfriend was an idiot! Some did say that since they were only dating and not married, she really had nothing to lose…unless they lived together. Then, coming back to your clothes on the front lawn…but seriously, after that, whatever!

Needless to say, the girlfriend got the support she was looking for The M&C Morning Show. She indeed went, had a good time and now we wait to hear where the relationship is at this point. On the other hand, Morty thought why didn’t the girlfriend help get his passport updated? With that said, Mike chimed in, “…that’s your defense? Not gonna work Morty!”

Listen to the segment and you decide what you would do…and enjoy!

5 Passport-Free Getaways Where Travelers Can Explore

Most of the time, if you’re traveling outside of the U.S., you need a current passport to do it. But there are some places outside of the country where you can visit without a passport.  And that’s good news for many Americans. A significant portion of Americans, roughly 55 percent, do not possess one.

Last year, the State Department reported that out of the 333,287,557 individuals residing in the United States, an estimated 55 percent, or a substantial portion, did not possess a passport. This figure, based on the total number of 151,814,305 valid U.S. passports in circulation, highlights the fact that a significant majority of Americans have yet to get one.

You don’t always need a passport to visit some awesome places. There are U.S. islands and territories, like the breathtaking U.S. Virgin Islands, where you can hop on a plane and explore without a passport. However, it’s important to note that the travel landscape can sometimes be confusing, as there are other U.S. territories, like Guam, where a passport is necessary for entry.

Do I need a passport for cruises?

When it comes to closed-loop cruises, which are voyages departing from the U.S. and returning to the same port, travelers have a bit of leeway when it comes to passport requirements. According to Ilisa Oman, a travel agent at One World Family Travel, the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) allows passengers on these cruises to travel without providing proof of a passport. Instead, a state-issued driver’s license or identification card usually suffices.

Keep in mind that there are exceptions to this rule. It’s always best to check in with your cruise line for more information about your travels.

To make your trip planning a breeze, we’ve got your back with a list of cool destinations where you, as a U.S. citizen, can travel passport-free. Whether you don’t have one or simply prefer to explore without the hassle of carrying one, we’ve got you covered.
