Hard to believe that anyone (especially one who travels for a living), didn’t know that when your passport runs out of pages…..you get more pages..period. Any Embassy or Consulate will (usually) do it while you wait abroad. You never get a new passport until your old one expires, is lost or damaged. Or was the article just that more interesting with your particular slant?

Somehow until then I'd never run out of pages in my passport. But at least now I know. For the curious you can get up to 3 sets of 24 extra pages (1 set at a time). The easiest way is by mail before you travel, but if you are in a country with a large enough US consulate or embassy you can often have them do it, on fairly short notice if it is an urgent need.
