New-requirements-for-travelers-entering-the-united-states
By Nomad Rick
Travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama, Mexico and Canada will be required to have a passport to enter or re-enter the United States. This is a change from prior requirements and will affect all United States citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western Hemisphere.
This new requirement will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to to the United States. Most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and to a lesser degree, Mexican citizens will be affected by the implementation of this requirement. Essentially, you must have a passport if you wish to enter the United States, even if you are a U.S. citizen.
When It Goes Into Effect
The initiative requirements will be rolled out in phases. The proposed implementation timeline is as follows:
1. December 31, 2005 – Passport required for all to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America.
2. December 31, 2006 – Passport required for all air and sea to or from Mexico and Canada.
3. December 31, 2007 – Passport required for all air,
sea and land border crossings.
How Do I get a passport?
U.S. citizens may visit the Passport section of the State Department web site [state.gov] for information on how to apply for a U.S. passport. You should allow yourself a sufficient amount of time to apply and receive your passport in advance of travel. Current processing time estimates are 6 to 8 weeks.
In Closing
As the world becomes a more dangerous place, borders are being tightened. How depressing. Article Source: http://www.upublish.info About the Author:

Hollywood finds romance in travel
On a train 'North by Northwest' and others, on a bus in 'It Happened One Night,' in Italy in 'Roman Holiday,' in Bali in 'Eat, Pray, Love' — love is all around.<br/><br/>Love is always lovelier some place other than home. Well, at least in the celluloid universe.

12 places to visit in 2012
From historical celebrations to Oregon wines to a diamond jubilee in Britain to Warhol in Arkansas, here are a dozen places to explore and enjoy.<br/><br/>New Mexico: This year, New Mexicans mark 100 years of statehood. But much of the state's appeal stems from its human history that goes back much further. (In 2010, Santa Fe celebrated 400 years of cityhood.) Explore here: the adobe architecture and art galleries of Santa Fe; the vintage signage along old Route 66; the lingering hippie vibe of Truth or Consequences. Don't forget the Lightning Field, an art installation outside Quemado where (for $150 to $250 a person) you spend a summer night in a wood cabin and wait to see if lightning will strike one of the 400 tall steel poles outside your door. Even if there's no strike, the sky puts on shows at sunset and sunrise that will leave you in awe.

Smaller legs of world cruises can be a deal
If you can't take a full world cruise, a smaller segment can still be filled with adventure and cost a lot less. These days only a fraction of passengers are there for the long haul.<br/><br/>The British couple — she in a long black dress, he in a traditional tux — leaned against the elevator's polished wood paneling as they headed back to their cabin after an evening performance in the main showroom. Embarrassed at my casual clothes and running shoes, I stammered, "We decided not to dress up and went to the buffet instead of the main dining room."

A big question mark hovers over the cruise industry
Cruise lines were ready for a busy year, with continued deals, expanded river jaunts and hot new locales. How the Costa Concordia disaster affects the industry is still unknown.<br/><br/>The first quarter of 2012 was supposed to be a sweet spot for passenger cruise lines. Wave season, as it's known, marks a time when cruise companies and travel agents roll out deep discounts on cruise vacations and rack up lots of sales.

Racing aboard the Great Lakes schooner Denis Sullivan
Participants do the jobs that 19th century sailors did as this replica navigates Lake Superior's unpredictable waters.<br/><br/>At dawn on the dock, a few sailors kiss spouses and dogs goodbye. Then we muster on the quarterdeck: 17 crew (nine volunteers and eight professional sailors) ranging from a 19-year-old South Carolina college student to a 76-year-old Michigan farmer.
