Well, I'll be testing this on the 17th of Nov. when I drive to Canada to 
fly back to the US (Ottawa is the nearest large airport and I'm going to LA 
to see my son).  I'll be reversing the procedure on the 24th.

Can't take what I don't have.  Never had a passport.  Never been where I 
needed one.  The Carribean would be fun but I gotta come back to work after LA.
