On Sunday morning we all got up about 5 o’clock and we all got ready. The taxi came about 6 in the morning to take us to the airport and when we got there we went to the check in. The lady asked for the passports and we gave them to the lady. She asked Melanie her age. Melanie said she was 16 years old. And that is when the lady said that Melanie needs her own passport. She said we had to go and see her boss. She said that she can’t let us go today but she said to go home and in the morning to go to Liverpool Passport Office and to take the tickets and tell them we need an emergency passport. 

The next day was Monday and we drove straight to the passport office in Liverpool.  A lady took the passport forms and asked us to wait. After one hour she came back with Melanie’s passport.  That day we telephoned up Travel City and the lady said we would have to go to Glasgow Airport. The soonest we could go on holiday was Tuesday. A friend drove us to Glasgow airport on Tuesday. So we started our holiday 2 days late. It could have been worse.
