Hi Mikey J

Passports must be valid for 3 months beyond period of intended stay - so for your son, his passport needed to be valid up until at least 20th May if you are leaving on the 20th Feb.

Sorry, that's probably not what you wanted to hear, but the positive news is that a. you realised in time rather than en route to the airport (!) and b. it is still snowing!!

See you next week!

re: passport problem

Check out this link, I use it for work travel all the time, so I am pretty sure it is 3 months validity but others may know different. A

My friends daughters passport was out a month after travelling to Bulgaria. She rang the embassy before she went and they said it was not a problem. She didn't have any problems travelling with her. Hopefully you will be O.K.
