Coincidence...
Somewhat. This is the size of the ships with normally go on:
The Thomson has about 600 cabins, if I remember correctly. The princess has more like 3,000.

I always do. Typically about 800+ per week. On a recent trip to Venice for a week I took 1,200. On a 4 day trip to Bruges I took 600!

I was thinking about all the places I've been, and got embarrassed. Short version, I was born in USA, have lived here since then. Been to Canada.

In all seriousness, isn't it only a small percentage of Americans who actually have a passport? Still, why would you really need to go outside the US, it being such a massive country with every kind of weather and resort a person could actually want, all in one boundary speaking the same language and spending the same currency...

Read my list - I've been to very few places outside of the U.S.A.

My parents have passports. They live about 20 miles from the Canadian border and used to go there a lot.
I don't have one. I don't like to travel and have no desire to go anywhere outside the USA. I know there is a lot to see outside USA, but as thelordharry said, there is also a lot to see in the USA and I haven't seen it all.
So, I've lived in: California, Washington (state), Florida and New York. I've been to Death Valley, Grand Canyon, Petrified Forest and Yellowstone National Park. Visited/drove through, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas (father's birthplace), Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan (mother's birthplace). Drove from Washington State to Florida so drove through all the states inbetween but don't remember them. While in Washington visited B.C., Vancover, while living in Buffalo visited, Niagara Falls, Ontario and Toronto.

Since when does a U.S. citizen need a passport to go to Canada?

My Dad says, you don't really NEED it to go to Canada, but to come back into the U.S., makes things a lot easier if you have a Passport. NY has the enhanced license, if you have one of those you don't need a passport to go to Canada, but if you don't have either, you have to take a copy of your birth certificate I think.
That's the long answer. Short answer, since 9/11/01.

Mine expired. But then, I've never been a HUGE traveller. The only places I'd really like to see is England, Italy, Ireland, Scottland (notice I'm leaving out France), and the motherland, Israel.
Aside from those, I'm content to stay wherever the hell I happen to be. It doesn't hurt that I happen to live in paradise
