I wonder if there coffee is the same price as it was at the Disney hotel for the convention there
And FREE wireless internet service…
As Marcel said free wireless. In Florida I was told for me to use my Puter $11.00 for one day. I was told a supplier was charged $250.00 for 4 days .
Toronto Looks great to me .

Nice brochure bump bump, cheap hotel prices too and free internet, so happy about that too, eh!
Is there still going to be a convention in Orlando in 07
Not unless Florida NACHI plans one.
Somebody told me that by 1/1.07 we were supposed to need a passport to cross into Canada or Mexico. Anybody know if thata true or not.
Yes it is true. You will need a passport to attend the convention in 07.
Wrong info it has not been decided yet and if it is it will not be required by then . From the info given out so far by our two governments it looks like we all could require an Identify card ,
Very much like your drivers license and this if it happens as some think will come about in two or more years from now .
Their is no way that they can get these passed law and made in less then two or more years .
stay tuned the US border states are trying to squash these ideas.

Press Release: Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Formally Submitted for Public Comment
Initiative Designed to Expedite Travel in the Western Hemisphere While Enhancing Security
Washington, D.C. – The Departments of Homeland Security and State formally submitted the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative proposal for public comment. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will require all U.S. citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda, and citizens of Canada and Mexico to have a passport or other accepted secure document that establishes the bearer’s identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States by January 1, 2008.
The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 mandated that the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, develop and implement a plan to require U.S. citizens and foreign nationals to present a passport, or other secure document when entering the United States.
In the proposed implementation plan, the Initiative will

Other than a passport, what types of documents will be acceptable under this initiative?
*The passport is the document of choice right now because of security features and general availability. Individuals traveling within the Western Hemisphere are encouraged to obtain a passport. *
*For land border crossings, other documents that we are considering for acceptance under this Initiative are SENTRI, NEXUS and FAST program cards. These are current international frequent traveler programs (see www.cbp.gov](http://www.cbp.gov/) for further information). *
*We anticipate that the Border Crossing Card, (BCC – also known as “laser visa”) will also be acceptable as a substitute for a passport and a visa for citizens of Mexico traveling to the United States from contiguous territory. *
No currently existing documents other than the BCC, SENTRI, NEXUS or FAST cards are under active consideration as substitutes for the passport. The Departments of Homeland Security and State are working to determine acceptable alternative documents other than a passport as soon as possible. We are using new technologies to create other acceptable travel documents. We will make public additional travel document options as they become available.
It is best if you take the initiative to obtain a Passport before the end of this year if you currently do not have one.
United States Senate passed an amendment to the ImmigrationBill that would delay until June 1, 2009 the requirement that peoplecrossing the border into the United States including U.S. citizens holdpassports or other specifically designated secure documents. Without thisdelay driver’s liscenses and birth certificates will no longer be sufficientto cross the border by air and sea on January 1, 2007 and by ground onJanuary 1, 2008. The Hotel Association of Canada has been actively engaged in seeking thisdelay and naturally welcomes the Senate decision. The delay will allow fordevelopment of proper technology at land based crossings. Concurrently itwill allow for the proper education of all travellers to ensure they arefully apprised of all requirements. However a cautionary note must be raised regarding the Senate vote. ThisSenate amendment, while a very welcome first step is simply that, a firststep. Before the Immigration Bill becomes law, the Senate will have to passthe full Immigration Bill. The amendment will then have to be retained inwhatever final legislation is negotiated between the House ofRepresentatives and the Senate. It should be noted that the House did notinclude this type of delay in the Passport requirement in its version of theBill last December.
