I have a US passport, too, so I could go to the US, but I need the Canadian one to come home. As the time came for us to leave, I resigned myself to checking the airport lost and found, or getting a replacement at the consulate in San Francisco.
I scoured the house, no luck. Checked all the laundry that was running in case it got dropped in the hamper. Nope. Called the airport lost and found; they had to look and call me back.
We are travelling to California to visit family for Spring Break. I was packing this morning and couldn't find my Canadian passport. I just used it when I returned on Tuesday, and I went from the passport check to the car on the curb, to our front step, to my bedside table. How could I have lost it in less than 100 steps?
