Well come to the expired passport club. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> Couple of years ago my wife kept asking about my passport expiration date. I kept insisting it was OK and quit bugging me. Nobody noticed it was expired when I checked in at SEA to MIA. But when i when to recheck in at MIA for SXM I was told it was expired. Wife could go but not me. It's a Saturday and the Fed building would not open till Monday. AA was very helpful. Printed a fake boarding pass for Monday so I could show I needed an expedited renewal and directed us to where we could get fast pictures to have ready to go. Spent two nights at the Embassy and Monday morn went to the Fed building. Renewal went quick and only paid 55.00 for the expedited process and once I got the passport I called AA and was booked on that evening flight with no rebooking charges. Arrived in SXM at 8:00 and started the party. Spending two days in Miami with my wife was a joy. She could have gone without me and I followed but having her with me was great for both of us. The couple that were traveling with us went ahead, picked up the car, checked in and were waiting for us at the airport with drinks in hand. Coarse being there for three weeks helped with only loosing two days. Loosing two for a weeks stay would be rough.
