I recently went on a trip to Las Vegas where we decided to go outside the city for a couple of days. I had heard of beautiful places like Lower Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend, so wanted to drive and explore these places. We had a lot of trouble finding these places due to lack of GPS friendly street addresses so now that we did find them, I thought it would be useful to post the GPS coordinates of these locations so as to make it easier for others to find them. Here goes the list (you may contribute too and I will keep updating it): Lower Antelope Canyon: N 36° 54.153' W 111°24.644' Horseshoe Bend: N 36° 52.598' W 111°30.179' Grand Canyon East Entrance: N 36° 02.137' W 111°49.834' Grand Canyon South Entrance: N 36° 00.019' W 112°07.312' Gateway Arch (St. Louis, MO) Entrance: N 38° 37.532' W 90° 11.075'

Hi Everyone! I recently applied for a duplicate passport since my passport got damaged. I had a lot of trouble understanding the document requirements on BLS website, specially regarding the number of photos and nationality verification forms required for the same. There was all sorts of confusing information everywhere. So today that I have submitted my application successfully, I thought I should share my experiences and help others. That's when the idea of blogging came to my mind and here comes my first ever post! Online application form Click here to go to the online NRI passport application page. It is very important to select the correct Indian mission. For me it was USA-NEW YORK CGI. Click here to find out your correct Indian mission in USA. Visible Mark - If you don't have any, write NONE. Address to be printed on passport - I gave my US address since I did not want to get into the hassle of procuring my Indian address proofs and getting them notarized.
