Long time no see. I was Alfie’s teacher a few years ago and wad only thinking of him the other day.
The same Bali situation happened with our 8 year old daughter’s passport.. My husband, family and friends jetted off for his birthday whilst i went through a very similar scenario to yours, but with distraught 8yo in tow.
Unfunnily enough, this is only one of our many distressing passport experiences. Mostly due to our own neglect.
But it hasn’t stopped our love of travel one whit!
Regards to you and yours.
Mrs B x

I’m thrilled that it had a happy ending. You definitely needed the rest once you were in Bali.

I’m glad you got your passport and were able to celebrate with your Dad. I can only imagine how stressful it was. I think I may have burst into tears on more than one occasion during the process.

I am impressed that you didn’t have a complete meltdown. Any show of anger or frustration probably would have worked against you and you’d have been assigned the bottom of some list, so good for you for exhibiting the necessary patience. I will want to hear all about Bali! If anyone deserves a wonderful family vacation, it’s you! Whew!

How awful. I’d heard that about with the passports but heaven forbid if I had to go through what you did I don’t think I would have survived. I hate being at the mercy of the airport staff. Sometimes they can be quite rude. Although in their defense I’m sure they get the heat from lots of people where their patience runs short as well.

So glad you made your flight and was able to enjoy your vacation.

I was even nervous reading this. I don’t envy you all that dealing with the dept of immigration but also feel sad for all the others you encountered who weren’t as lucky as you. Hope you have a great time in Bali – you deserved the large glass of wine!
