Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

That rule was put in place worldwide to protect children from being kidnapped by a parent. I watched a woman in full meltdown at the cruise terminal in Tampa because she didn't have a letter from her XH stating she could take their D out of the country. She kept showing her divorce papers that said she was the custodial parent but because the father had visitation that meant she couldn't take her without his consent. She couldn't reach him to get him to fax a letter to the cruise line. I did see them onboard later and asked her how they managed to board and she said she tracked him down and he went to kinkos and faxed the letter. What a nightmare! I also had a client who I booked to fly to Canada and at the last minute he got a ticket for his son with his mileage to go with him so they could do some fly fishing after his business was done. They let them fly from here but when they landed in Canada the customs authorities wouldn't allow them to enter the country until he could produce proof that his wife (not divorced, just traveling without her) was giving permission for this trip.

Do yourself a favor and avoid these disasters at all costs. Can you imagine the meltdown your poor D9 would have if something like that arose?
