México's Entry Requirements.
Passport Requirements Resuming October 1, 2007
Passengers traveling via air will again need valid passports to travel between the United States and Bermuda, the Caribbean, Canada, and Mexico, according to the US Department of Homeland Security.
Summer 2008: passports will be required for all U.S. citizens traveling to or from the United States via land and sea, as well as air, regardless of destination.
Using Public Phones.
BEWARE!!!! of the phones plastered all over most tourist related cities, usually on the front of a business. They are marked "TO CALL LONG DISTANCE TO THE USA & CANADA, SIMPLY DIAL 0" The writing is in black and USA is in blue letters with CANADA in red letters. They also have pictures of credit cards on the signs. The phones are put there by a private phone company and are VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE. You will probably faint when you see your phone bill or credit card bill.
