This post reminds me of the time....
.....my passport was stolen by a gypsy while I watched a dancing bear in Madrid. They not only got my passport, but everything else I needed to move around or buy things, or prove who I was or to go back home to the states.

That was a clever person to tell you Comfort Inn.
I entered Canada for a bit in 1999. It was lax compared to now. You did not need a passport to get in. How times have changed.

It seems to me you've had a rare education - studying other cultures in person, tasting the food, meeting the people... I've enjoyed my jobs at the university here and the college in Seattle where I met students from all over the world. It was amazing.

Wow! You are a world traveler. John and I have travelled extensively, but nothing close to the areas you have covered. I imagine that entering another country has its share of issues when it comes to documents. I have only dealt with it twice. Once, on the Canadian border and again on the Mexico border. I never dreamed that traveling around the U.S. via an airplane would be so difficult.
