Here's some firsthand passport info.
I filled out the forms online here:

Then last friday I went to Wallgreens and had the 2 needed photos taken $7.99
From Wallgreens I went to the post office near my house, make sure it has a passport office.
(Find one here: [url "http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/"]http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/[/url])
at that time I paid for the passport with expedited fees and postage about $180.00.
The Mailman rang my doorbell this past Friday with my new passport.
7 days total.
I'm in Southern Nevada, and the passport came from Los Angeles, so depending on where you are, and where the passport office is your time may be different by a few days.
overall I thought it was an example of excellent preformance by a govermental agency.
My tax dollars at work.
I can now again fly in to kill fish in Mexico!
I'll be in Zihua in a few weeks and let you guys how I do.
