I spent half of my lunch hour standing in line at the passport window of the downtown post office. The people in front of my were having difficulty with their application and I started to worry that it was seeming too easy and I had forgotten an important step of the process that could end up in a lengthy dely.
Not to worry. My paperwork was in order, my pictures were satisfactory (to them, not me), and my ID was adequate. I have to say I have a bit of anxiety about them taking my birth certificate but Liz had no problems so mine should be fine.
According to the postal worker, I should have my shiny new passport in the mail within the next three weeks. That seems really fast but she said it a couple of times. We'll see.
The only thing left to do is to wait.

It took mine 9 days but I had a previous government clearance so that may have speeded up the process somewhat. I think you have plenty of time.

My original passport took about 2 weeks. Granted, that was about 12 years ago. My new one (which I got in the UK) took about a week. And the paperwork is so dead easy. One helpful hint from your friendly neighbourhood tour guide: never let your passport expire! It's so much easier to renew than to get a new one.
