First off I do feel stupid for being in this position so please do not flame me as it is already stressful enough :(. I made a last minue reservation for NYC and intended to drive down Monday but just found my 15Jun expired passport. So I really only have two options. Postpone trip by minimum a day and get passport first thing Monday morning. Or leave the reservation, still apply for passport but attempt to cross the border (I am in GTA) and cross my finger. So depending on successrate I may choose one or the other. Any feedback is appreciated
