New Passport

everyday life 1 Minute

My passport application was received a week ago, as I could tell by the tracking, and the expedited processing was indeed expedited! My new passport is here, and it has fifty pages!

I didn’t realize that the passport now looks different (and feels different – the electronic page is even thicker than it used to be), and basically nothing except for the cover remained the same.

Interestingly, I like my new passport picture a lot – better than the previous two! I am glad I left it to professionals 🙂

Oh, and my plastic RealID still hasn’t arrived!

My name is Henrietta (Hettie) Dombrovskaya. I was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russian (actually, back then – Leningrad, USSR) in 1963, and immigrated to the United States in 1996. I love Saint Petersburg, the city I was born and raised in, and I think it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. Similarly (but differently) I love Chicago, and can’t imagine myself moving somewhere else in the observable future. I have three children, Igor, Vlad and Anna, all adults living on their own, and one (so far) granddaughter Nadia. I also believe that my children are the best thing that happened in my life. As for my professional life, I am working in the field of Information Technologies. When I was twenty, I’ve declared that the databases are the coolest thing invented and that I want to do them for the rest of my life. Thirty plus years later, I still believe it’s true, and still, believe that the databases are the best. These two statements together imply that I think a person can have it all, and indeed, I think so! Keep reading my journals to find out how I did it.
