= At first glance, a U.S. passport is= just a little booklet, about the size of a pocket notebook, a slim binding= of heavy, baby-blue paper. But with this tiny document, you can visit almo= st any nation on Earth, earning approving nods from customs officials and c= ollecting exotic stamps, one border post at a time. With a few notable exce= ptions--such as Cuba and North Korea--a U.S. passport is respected in almos= t every harbor and airport on the globe. = And recently, with the tightening o= f Homeland Security, your passport isn't just a ticket to places--it's your= ticket back. If you're finally taking that romantic trip to Europe or you'= ve bought tickets for an Asian adventure, your passport is mandatory for tr= avel to most foreign countries. And beginning on Jan. 23, 2007, the documen= t will become even more essential for zipping around North America. The Wes= tern Hemisphere Travel Initiative will require that anyone who takes a flig= ht to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean must have a passport or other approve= d identity card. From MSN Travel
