No worries on the passport front, at least not yet. I've been to Canada like 8 times this year (3 times I flew, the rest we drove). When I flew over I took a birth certificate, driving a drivers license was plenty. They ASK for passports but... I've heard but not verified that they had to take the manditory passports thing off the table because it would take like 5 years to process all the passports needed... -Curt Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2005 23:17:41 -0500 From: TimothyPilgrim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Arctic-Q...?

Just remember for all you gun-toting Yanks down there that handguns are a prohibited weapon in here Canada. If you show up at the border with one, be prepared to kiss it goodbye. Big penalties for failing to do so... http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca/info_for-renseignement/factsheets/visitin_e.asp http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca/info_for-renseignement/factsheets/prohibited_e.asp And git yer passports in order or you might not be let back into your own country! Things have changed since 9/11, especially in the past year. Used to be a simple driver's license was sufficient. I wouldn't bet on it nowadays.

The ArticQ can coordinate with the OkieQ that year, everyone shows up at the OkieQ, then the trip for ArcticQ begins. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Plus, we are the center of the country pretty much.
