Can anyone tell me if a passport is needed for travel to and from Bonaire from the U.S. prior to December 31? I have mine, but my wife does not for travel to Bonaire in early December. Thanks!

Steve thats a loaded question for sure. Depending on what source you listen to. You still have time to get one for your wife. Right now you need one before Dec. 31 if you are traveling out of the USA, but then again it could change. It has changed 3 times already, with all the hurricanes that have hit New Orleans and alot of paper work got lost. Hope that answers your question.

Steve, it is my understanding that you can use an original birth certificate with a RAISED SEAL... and a photo ID.

Patrick and Kelly -- Thanks! What Kelly stated is consistent with my understanding, as that is what we have used for several years for Caribbean travel. Julie does have an official birth certificate (raised seal) and photo ID (Missouri driver's license). I know that she will NEED a passport soon, but due to circumstances she just has not done it (as we had THOUGHT that we had until the end of this calendar year under the old system). Just checking to see if we can squeak by for now!

Steve, I think you can squeak by. She can always apply for it, and if it comes before you leave that's great. But have the back-up.

Kelly -- Thanks for the link to the USA Today article. I presume that is current and no changes since? I flat out missed this information somehow! Looks like we are good to go.

kelly, i still think it's strange that someone other than the birthday girls was the most photographed person at the party, don't you?
