moodyskydiver 0 #1 July 1, 2008 Ok so it looks like I'm for sure going to Lost Prairie so I need to start getting my list of stuff to pack ready b/c it takes forever for me to remember everything and get it packed so I'm starting early.Heres what I've got so far.What am I missing? -clothes:both for warm daytime and cool temps at night -2pair of shoes-1 good pair of tennis shoes and 1pair of sandals -extra socks for nighttime! -toiletries:shampoo,soap hairbrush,razor,etc. -good warm blanket -ID/birth cert. -$$$ -any meds I might be on by then -sunglasses/hat -jacket or hoodie for cool temps -gift I got for my hostess..neener neener! *buying sleeping bag and airmattress in Cali -air pump for air mattress -swimsuit & coverup (I look like a whale! I'm definitely covering it up!lol!) -camera/camera bag/memory card -book to read on the plane -ipod -journal(I always take it on my trips) I'm flying from TX to CA and then riding with Nightingale from CA to UT and then up to the boogie at LP.We might drop in on Glacier Natl Park too so thats why I need the birth cert. incase I go to the Canadian side of the park since I dont have a passport.I'm not jumping and dont have a rig so any skydiving gear can be excluded.I'm staying in Kris' tent too so no need to buy/pack one of those either.ok what else am I missing?help!

Nightingale 0 #6 July 1, 2008 Quote Why take a birth certificate??? Seems like a unnecessary risk to take something highly confidential/critical only to lose it... You only need cash and/or plastic and a drivers license or ID. According to the state department website, travel between the US and Canada now requires a passport or a state-issued ID and proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. "Canadian law requires that all persons entering Canada must carry both proof of citizenship and identity. A valid U.S. passport or NEXUS card satisfies these requirements for U.S. citizens. If U.S. citizen travelers to Canada do not have a passport or approved alternate document such as a NEXUS card, they must show a government-issued photo ID (e.g. Driver’s License) and proof of U.S. citizenship such as a U.S. birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or expired U.S. passport." http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1082.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
