[yapc] Re: passport and tourism

[Wayne A. Arthurton]

I agree with Mike.
I used to cross the border weekly.  I always carried my passport, but 
they actually infrequently looked at it.
I have crosssed w/o either, but it isn't as easy to do as it used to be. 
So if you have your Birt Certificate or passport bring it.

If you are not a US Citizen, make sure you go to the special alien 
departure area (sounds very sci-fi) that is just past the toll on any of 
the bridges across.
