Two of the countries (Kenya and Tanzania) state that they require 6 months left on the passport. I presume the 6 month rule is usually set in stone?

Unfortunately, I'm right up under the 2 week deadline. The closest passport center (Chicago) doesn't have an in-person appointment until March 23. Do they process in-person requests on the same day?

Argh. I really could have planned this better, so I appreciate the advice

If you think you have time to visit a local confulate in a foreign country
you are visiting, I think you can get eh passport done the same day.
Please check their online site for the information. And you may not have
to pay additional fees for the expedited service.

But please check before you leave US.
