I would certainly have a photo ID, and a copy of your birth certificate...

Starting to look at things that need to be done before cruising up The
Inside Passage to Alaska this summer.

I just checked my passport and find that it expires next month.. As I
understand it, I don't have to have a valid passport to go into Canada,
etc.
However, with the current border security, would it be worth the $150 to
have my passport renewed??

Also, how long does it now take to renew a current passport??

He forgot to check into how high these animals could jump however and

Mexico for decades now.
Liscenses are available but I'm not sure about cost. (it's been a
while.)

Thanks, Maynard...er, ah, Mark. (Wonder how many viewers even know

As you know, we just did the trip last year and were not required to
furnish a passport, although we had them. We crossed the border in the
vehicle before Tsawassen where they didn't care if we had them and
checked into US Customs at Ketchican. (the big ugly pink building just
north of the docks south of the cruise ships) You call into Customs at
Prince Rupert when coming back, but they didn't want to see us or our
boat. All very simple. Everybody was nice.
