To conclude,travelling may not only be for vacation. As I speak, my wife had to spend the whole day to travel out of state to go get her sister and take her to the passport office to renew her travel documents because her husband lost his mother and they need to travel to Ghana next week to bury her.
Things would have been smoother if she had, done this renewal long ago because the Embassies can not guarantee a quick nor instant renewal.
Waiting is not fun when you are a Prince back home in your village ,and these files are served on a first come first serve basis.
