so I've been looking into getting a new passport.
If you send off for it - minimum 3 weeks.
If you spend more money and go to the nearest passport office (couple hours drive) they will get it done in 4 hours, or post it to you within a week (slightly less money).
The snag - it can take 3 weeks to get an appointment lol
So I'll ring the buggers up tomorrow and see what the current wait time is for appointments.

So I've got a fasttrack appointment this friday, new passport should get here the week after.
Right then, I'm definitely going
Now just need to get the spanish email translated and start looking at flights
