Next time the band goes to canada, we will probably all need passports to see them:
Beginning January 8, 2007, US citizens (including infants and children) will need a valid passport to travel to and from Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America and the Caribbean (excluding Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands). If any portion of your trip will take place after January 7, you\'ll need a valid passport to re-enter the U.S. Plan ahead and start the process to get your passport today.

Land travel into canada is not going to need a passport untill next december, but if you are flying you will need one in january.
I thought the government began this already...this summer. I went to Mexico for my friends wedding....and according to the travel agent, everyone needed a passport.
Those who need them locally in CT...the best place to go is the Branford Town Hall.....they are very plesant and help out non-residents like myself. (also note: your passport photo has to stay the same for 10 years, so dont be making any ridiculous faces when you have it done. (walgreens does them for like 9 bucks, sometimes on sale for 7) And they print exactly whats on your birth certificate, so if your parents gave you an awful middle name, its there....or in my case.....two middle names, and two last names. my name looks like a terrorist.
But whatever you do, if you need one DONT wait til the last minute. To have it expedited for a trip, like lets say its June and you are going in August.....its an EXTRA 150 dollars. ooooooh......learned the hard way.
