i would bet a good number, even back when you werent required one everyone should have one, it is so much easier and its like the ultimate form of id, also in a nice little booklet so u dont have to carry around ure birth certificate and license
yep, if you didnt know, now you do, get your passports asap if you do NOT have them, as it takes some time to get them!!! no passport, no cancun!
yes.. it takes months to get a passport if you don't expedite it here in the US... if you don't have one, get it now!
They must do it quicker here in the UK as when i got mine i just went the regular route no expediting and it only took like 8 - 10 days, a friend expedited his and got it back 3 days after sending for it i was astounded!
