Me, Dick. So far, with the little traveling I've done, I've only needed
my birth certificate (on cruises to Mexico). Never had the fortune to fly to another country yet. Maybe someday. But, that doesn't mean I have any problems with acquiring a passport. Just hasn't been necessary. I can see that it will be for the future, however. I figured it would only be a matter of time. :-) Lindsay Dick had posted: Sunny, Who travels anywhere these days without using a passport as their ID. When we stopped going to Atlantic City and discovered Nassau in the late '80s, our ID was our passports. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ |

And the chances of it passing are 99.9% just as it is. Almost a rubber stamp
so you need to get your passport right away. Some TA's are actually telling their customers not to worry about it. They are afraid they won't get the sale if the people find out they need to cough up the extra money to get passports. Shame on them. Jim "Ray Goldenberg" wrote in message ...

People who don't have passports should get them but there is no need for panic. If it goes into effect the first phase goes into effect December 31, 2005. Today is April 6. -- Charles |

That is not what the press is saying in Maryland. The rules have been fixed in stone, from what was being reported yesterday afternoon for 2008. --Roy Cochrun Hi Roy, Here is the last paragraph in it's entirety: How will the new travel initiative requirements impact travel at the land borders? The Departments of State and Homeland Security understand that the greatest potential change will occur at the land borders. The new statute specifically mandates that the concerns of border communities be considered. We recognize the implications this might have for industry, business and the general public, as well as our neighboring countries, and they are important partners in this initiative. The advanced notice of proposed rule making will allow these affected publics to voice concern and provide ideas for alternate documents.

It seems that beginning in 2006, all US passengers traveling to the Caribbean and Bermuda will be required to present a US Passport to re-enter the country. Summary: The U.S. Government has announced a change in documentation requirements as follows: Effective Dec 31, 2005: All U.S. citizens traveling by air or sea to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central America and South America are required to have valid passports. Efective Dec 31, 2006: The requirement will be expanded to include air and sea travel to and from Mexico and Canada. Effective Dec 31, 2007: The requirements expands to include all air, sea and land border crossings. In addition, while U.S. authorities currently do not have a legal requirement that Canadians carry a passport, Foreign Affairs Canada strongly urges all Canadians traveling to the U.S. obtain and carry a Canadian passport before leaving Canada. Supporting Articles: http://www.travelwirenews.com/cgi-sc...035/003527.htm http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/n...ck=1&cset=true According to these articles, if you're returning to the US after 12/31/2005, you're going to need a passport.
