I am not sure what the exact difference between Real ID and Enhanced Drivers License is, but Enhanced will get you into Canada.

I think they changed the rules in the past year or two. If you have some version of drivers license - the enhanced security, which they’ve been saying will be required for domestic flights at some point soon - I think that’s good instead of a passport for Canada/Mexico.

I’ve been to Tokyo. I can’t say anything about the rest of the country, but man that is one expensive town. Amazing everything, especially the people.

That’s according to the BBC, who note that it’s fairly recent that Americans need a passport for Canada and Mexico.

It’s not unusual at all if you are American. Only 42% of Americans have a passport. And it was as low as 15% in the 90s.

Yes. Many of them are from different countries, and different cultures, and they have no idea what they are doing. Many of them can barely read English and don’t fully understand the instructions from their “hosts”. Hotels are completely set up to deal with this, apartments in the middle of a residential building, in the middle of a residential block, are not.
