Passport questions
 

Let me be dumb for a second. Do I need a passport to go to St. Thomas from the U.S. if I am an American citizen?

Anyone want to help out?

You do not need a passport for St. Thomas.

St. Thomas is part of the US Virgin Islands so it is part of the US. People there are considered US citizens.<BR><BR>For most of the Carribean all you need is a birth certificate and photo ids.<BR><BR>To get on the plane, I would recommend having a couple of photo ids, just in case. They are pretty through now with checking. Drivers License/work id.<BR><BR>Have a great time.

No, you're not dumb. Although you don't need a passport, many folks find that things go a lot faster (i.e., getting through customs lines) if you do have one. (I have fonud this to be true.)
