tour with an orchestra and a big choir. In 14 days, we traveled to or performed in eight European countries.

I showed my passport just once, at Heathrow airport. I never had to show it to anyone again on the entire trip, which involved multiple border crossings. Not once, until we landed at LAX at the end of the trip.

The buses we were on were all just waved through at every border.

I was surprised and very pleased to see how civilized nations handle such things. We need something like that here, I believe.
