In fact, thats not actually true. Ive been told at more than one embassy that they "are not here to help Americans traveling abroad, we are here to look out for American interests in the country of whatever"

Its been my exp. that the Canadian embassy is more likely help to Americans traveling overseas than the US Embassy. Although I doubt there is much they can do for an expired US passport. My advice would be:

1. Get it in order before you leave beyond even a slightest doubt.
2. Take a photcopy of at least the first 2 pgs. and store it in a different place than wherever you keep your ppt.

Happy Trails.
