One of my friends, her hubby, their six year old and their baby are off to Florida for half term (lucky them). They booked a bargain sunshine break with Airtours<\/a>, and now they’re all ready to go. <\/p>\n

Except for one hitch. When they registered for the new US ESTA<\/a>, which all visitors now need to do, my friend, her husband and their son were immediately accepted. But their little girl’s application is still ‘pending’. <\/p>\n

Now they have an agonising wait of 72 hours to see if their baby is accepted or declined. <\/p>\n

If you’re planning a holiday to the US this summer, my advice is to make sure you apply for your ESTA<\/a> as early as possible – and then sit back and hold your breath. <\/p>\n
