You won't need a passport to enter Canada; but you will need your passport to re-enter the US, if you're flying. However, if you travel via car or boat, you won't need a passport to re-enter until 2008.

However, it is strongly recommended to have your travel papers anyway, b/c the US border patrol has been known to flip people shit for no reason without them. They can deny citizens re-entry on a whim; but having a passport (unless it's flagged) will get you back in.

I was in Vancouver last February, and all I needed was my birth certificate (the certified copy with the raised seal). But that changed this year.

Also, bear in mind that new passports have a tracking RFID chip in them. So if you go somewhere like Canada or Mexico, and then go to somewhere like Cuba, you can't just rip the page out anymore -- they'll still know where you've been. However, there are countless tutorials on teh Interwebs showing you how to identify the chip, read what it says, and smash it.

I know they used to be pretty lax about having a passport. All my trips to Canada (British Columbia) were pre-9/11 though. Even then they highly encouraged you to have passports. I'm fairly certain they require them now. Is this your first trip to Canada? I thought it was a beautiful country. The people are fun to observe, too! They're almost just like Americans, but somehow a little off. Not enough you'd really notice unless you're looking for it, but enough to be a little creepy if you do. Not monster-creepy, mind you, but more like those red-headed twin girls from "the shining" kind of creepy. :)

Hey guys, has anyone been to Canada? I am going to Leamington, Ontario, flying into DTW Airport in Detroit. I was going to rent a car and just drive to my hotel, since it's an hour or less away, but I have to cross the Canada bridge. Does anyone know if I have to have my passport? I have checked a couple of links that say not necessarily, but I don't want to get over there and get stuck there with all the moose. Thanks!!

I got Hunter a Samurai Sword last Christmas. He killed a few squirrels with it, but got bored after a couple of weeks. I need something that will captivate his interest for a while longer than that.

he does still play with it. quite a bit.

i think i'm leaning towards this one if i can win the bid. maybe im just biased because its what i had...but i remember a lot of play time with it. plus i can sell it for a crapload in 25 years on ebay.

Does Evan still play with that tiny one we got him for his birthday? Hunter has the Dragon one and a couple of the others Chains listed, I would have to say the best is the Dragon one, we found it at Target. There are a few at Toys R Us too. The Dragon one has little trap doors for the cars and stuff like that, it's pretty keww.
I bought some clothes for Evan for Christmas, I was going to get him a little toy too so just lemme have a few ideas. I don't want to do a repeat of last Christmas and get him something he already has. ;)

I plan on getting Evan a Hot Wheels City for XMas and can't find any i like better than this one. Every one I find has a broken leg on it, though. Any suggestions for a good Sto & Go hot wheels city or know where I could look to find one of these in better condition?
