we were going on holiday to San Diego,USA. we'd booked holiday online six months earlier and i hadn't bothered to check our passports. i"d just assumed everything was OK. so you can imagine my surprise when we were told at the check-in desk that we couldn't fly because our son's passport was out of date. my and daughter checked in and off they went.Nick i rushed home, got his birth certificate and tried to get a new passport.
