Did you know that over 70 million US citizens have a valid passport which is just about a quarter of the eligible population?  Don’t be one of those stuck with out a passport when the new regulations take place!   Imagine the crunch as everyone rushes to get one… besides getting a passport takes time this day and age especially with all the Home Land Security issues.

If you don’t already have your passport you still have some time before the new requirements take effect.  

Jan 23, 2007 is the date that we’ll all need to show a valid passport to enter the United States when traveling by air.  

That includes arriving from destinations like Canada, Mexico and my favorite Happy Island located in the Caribbean!

It looks like we have a little more time before we’ll need to show a passport when entering the United States by land or sea.  Estimate time frame for that is sometime in January 2008.
