New Passport Deadline Reminder – January 23, 2007

Just a reminder: Effective today, a passport is required for travel by air to Canada and Mexico, as well as any foreign country in the Western Hemisphere. That DOES NOT include Puerto Rico (a US territory) or the US Virgin Islands (same deal). Land and sea travel are not yet effected by the new Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. You have about another year to drive to Tijuana if you really want to.
