Remember, US citizens still are supposed to be able to drive or take a ferry ("land and sea") back and forth to Canada using birth certificates and drivers licenses as identification until the end of June, 2009. However, those of us who are flying to Canada will have to have a PASSPORT or PASSPORT CARD in order to return to the States.
