We were going on holiday to San Diego, USA We'd booked the 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 date. My wife and daughter checked in and off they went. Nick and I rushed home, got his birth certificate and tried to got a new passport.
