To Canada without a valid (current) passport?
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?? Steve s/v Good Intentions |

You can complete most of your homework by going to travel.state.gov and the
cost is somewhat less than $150. |

cost is somewhat less than $150. It appears that the 10 yr passport is $115 while the shorter term (not clear, suspect 4 yr) is $55.. I'd like to do this once and for all (67yo) and get another 10 yr passport but I don't want to bother with it right now if it's not required to enter and leave Canada this summer.. (maybe, the truth be known, I have a 10 yr passport sitting here on my desk, that has never left the country and expires next month, while several old passports I have here are full of stamps from cover to cover.. Somebody needs to get moving!!) Steve s/v Good Intentions |

To Canada without a valid (current) passport?
Starting to look at things that need to be done before cruising up The
Inside Passage to Alaska this summer. I might want to check, but I believe the Canadian government wants you to carry a large bore rifle when you travel that passage (for protection from bear should you go ashore). I do know that in the past (and likely still) they did in fact require a large bore (not pistol, not small bore) rifle for fliers of small aircraft over that route. |

The world has changed everywhere. Canadians also don't need a passport to
enter the U.S., but everyone I know takes one. ==== Charles T.

Somebody needs to get moving!!) I found my old passport from the late 1970's with my 4-year, multiple-entry, gratis visa from Iran. There's lots of stamps in that book, except for the trip to Israel, who understands its implications. I guess the new government wouldn't be interested in giving me another one, like the Shahanshah's government was. They made me turn in my Doshen-Tappeh IAFB security badge with only one area stamped out I couldn't get into, the crypto vault. It had Farsi numbers around the outside and they punched out any security areas you were not allowed to enter. The fewer punches, the higher your status symbol....(c; I'd go back to Iran to live, again, in a heartbeat, if they were friendly again. What a beautiful place, mostly unspoiled in 5000 years by a human footprint. Ibex (mountain sheep) hunting with an M-16 on the Shah's private game preserve was great hunting, too.
