Passport up to date?

Next January, you’ll need a passport to return to the United States
from Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.    However, the
State Department has said a driver’s license and/or birth certificate will be OK from the Virgin Islands. "U.S. citizens returning directly
from a U.S. territory are not considered to have left the U.S. and do
not need to present a passport. U.S. territories include the following:
Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Swains
Island and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands," according
to a statement on a government Web site.
