Congratulations,
MadTheologian, I got my first passport in 1980 and my latest earlier this week. I still get excited about it.
When travelling abroad, I keep my passport with me (in a zipped compartment in my shoulder bag which I hang on to for dear life); I also take (and keep in a different place) a color copy of my passport, a certified copy of my birth certificate, and two prints of my 2x2 photo so that I can get a replacement passport if something happens to the original.
