OH NO!!! Charlie – what an ordeal! I had not heard of that 6 month rule for passport holders travelling to Bali! I sure hope you get things sorted out smoothly after that first failed attempt.
BTW – I sure was happy to see this email pop up in my inbox, feels like forever since I read one of your blog posts.

I’m so excited to hear about your Bali trip. My boyfriend is there now enjoying some good food, positive vibes and pilates classes. Be careful about sandflies, though!! He got bitten everywhere and these bites are nasty.

Reading this I felt so, so awful for you. This story is HORRIBLE. And I agree, I flew Jetstar once domestically and just never would again. This is just such a terrible day. Good on you for getting through it as well as you did.

Ommmggg, Charlie,
This sounds like a reality show, a terrible one.
So sorry. Everything happens at once, right?
All will be well.
Inhale)))
Breathe)))))

Oh, no! What a nightmare! You’re a trooper for even attempting to get your passport renewed on Friday—but I was sure hoping it would happen. Hope you’re reunited with your family without any drama on Monday! xx

Wow that is quite a drama. Good luck tomorrow and I’m sure it will all be fine. Some people really delight in not helping others. I have heard of that 6 month rule but I’ve never really paid attention to it. However I don’t know about the cab driver taking advantage of you because of your blonde hair though Charlie!

wow that is harsh! I hate dealing with passports. hope you have a nice quiet weekend where you get lots done and that they are kind to you at the passport office on Monday.

BTW I am jealous of Sydney’s airport trains – went to Sydney recently and the train is so excellent whereas Melb has nothing like that – though Turnball has plans – fingers crossed!

This reads like fiction. Are you certain this is a true story? Oh, it would be. You are the main character.

Praying that Monday goes better and you are on that flight to unite with family and celebrate your dad’s 80th birthday.
