Thanks

I would renew your passport now. You really aren't saving anything by waiting for the new 10 year passport. According to my wife (who is a Passport Officer) the new 10 year passport fee will increase from the current $87 to $200.

I believe the new passports will increase in size to 36 pages. For those who travel a lot, and fill up their passports quickly, the 5 year passports will still be available after 2013.
