When visiting different ports of call (different countries) do you get your passport stamped? It'd be a shame to travel all that way and not get stamped.

I haven't had my passport stamped in years. I don't even remember it getting stamped when I flew into Paris on business and that was a long time ago. I think that was something they did pre-computer so they could see where you've been. Now it just pops up on the screen. The only page that got used in my passport was for a work visa.

Hmm, interesting. It wasnt but a couple years ago and we went to Antigua and Barbuda for a land based vacation and we got ours stamped. I like stamps.

I have very few stamps in my passports (old and new). I got a stamp in FCO (Rome), one in CDG (Paris), and LHR (London).

I've never been able to get mine stamped in the Caribbean. It seems like the customs guys are there when the ship docks, but by the time they let passengers off, they've vanished. I would love to have mine stamped from every island I've been to.
