I was so organised...had my bag packed....activities for Libby to do on the plane....and arrive at check-in and find out my passport expired! In March!! I was so shocked. I had organised Libbys months ago, but hadnt even checked mine.
What to do? Thankfully the woman at the counter got her superior and he printed the forms out for me and rebooked my flights.
Then I had to go home, get a new photo taken - you're not allowed to smile anymore people! Get my forms witnessed and take it in to Wellington for an urgent new one. Unfortunately I got to Wellington and found I had brought in Libbys passport instead of mine - so finally got it sorted on the third trip!! $300 later...
Have flights now booked for Thursday, and coming home the following Friday, so a bit longer than we were originally going for but Im just pleased I dont have to worry about missing work or anything like that. Only thing is missing swimming lessons for a few weeks in a row but never mind. Libby was a little disappointed to leave the airport but thankfully shes too little to really understand what happened. Im so looking forward to getting away and having some sunshine and doing some shopping for ME!!
Lets hope the actual trip is a little less eventful than this start....
