    I spoke with the hotel this morning with a question such as extra nights would they give the group rate. At this point in time the answer was yes the ladies name in sales is Susan. If anyone has a problem I have her direct line that I can provide you with. Please remember we have a block of rooms first come first serve.

    Here's the latest State Dept info:

    I think it would be a good idea to bring along a birth certificate, just in case.

    Hi Everyone,

    Americans do not a visa to visit Canada, and for now, travelers to Canada from the US do not need an American passport when crossing the border.

    If you are an American citizen crossing the border into Canada, you need ID that proves two things: 1) Citizenship, and 2) Identity by way of a photo.

    A driver's license on its own or a Social Security Card on its own are not valid ID to cross the Canadian border.

    The following pieces of identification will serve as satisfactory proof of American citizenship to enter Canada:

    US passport

    OR


    Birth certificate,

    OR


    Certificate of citizenship or naturalization,

    AND


    Photo ID, such as current driver's license
