I never told the story about Janet taking Theo to Mexico. When they tried to board the plane the airline wouldn't let them, saying Janet needed a notarized letter from Bruno, the father, stating that Janet could take her child out of the country! Needless to say they missed their flight.
Apparently this has something to do with entry into Mexico, rather than being an airline policy. Still, it's strange I had never heard of this. Seems like something the airlines might want to mention when you book the flight.
They eventually made it. I'll get the full story when they get home.
We've experienced this in Canada..Kris was told " It's one of those things you just should Know."
What else should we know?
When we got a passport for Mary I think it was an option you could take for a minor. We elected not to, but I have seen passports for minors with a big stamp on it requiring both parents to be traveling with the child or else the traveling parent would need all of these documents. Perhaps when going to Mexico and/or Canada where you don't need a passport they just make it the rule for everyone.
