Passport to Canada

A short caveat Bob, if you are driving all you need are your license and birth certificate, I was just over the line last weekend as well. Grant I've been in the U Boat you speak of, very interesting and worth seeing.

You are correct, sir. I overlooked air travel.

BTW - I liked your city very much.

The US is rolling out the new passport card soon, though (you can apply for it now). You'll be able to show that, instead of the passport book, for land crossing to and from Canada and Mexico, I believe.

But, yes, you need your passport book for air travel. I'd advise getting it renewed promptly, since it costs more if you need it quickly. Though if worst comes to worst, and you're near enough to do so, and you're traveling within 14 days (maybe you can hire... the A-Team. *cue theme*) you can go directly to a passport office and get one on the spot. I know there are offices in NYC and Philly.
