Spotting ideas

I may catch LAS while im in reno this summer but wouldn't be good for a day trip from the east coast.

US Citizens don't need a passport to enter Canada. You do, however, need one to get back into the United States. YUL has variety, albeit a lot of Air Canada, and you can cab to the places where you'd shoot the 6s and 24L, but the weather doesn't get reliably good until mid-April.

You need a passport to do ANY traveling outside of the USA, no matter if by plane, car, or boat.

... but not strictly outside continental US... meaning that one can still enjoy Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Hawaii, Alaska... I know that's what you meant Steve but I just wanted to point out the obvious for those who may have missed the fact that Puerto Rico and Alaska give us away from continental US and if spotting is the goal, both have great spotting. How are US Virgin Islands for spotting? anything like SXM? :-)

Speaking of SXM, I take it a passport is needed to go there too? And the spotting is good in Puerto Rico? Is that based on type of traffic or ease of access forspotting, or a combination of the two?

I was under the impression you needed a passport to travel outside of the fifty states, regardless of the mode of transportation. Oh, and Alaska and Hawaii are US states, too!

SXM is divided between the Netherlands and France so, yes, you do need a passport. If you don't cross Customs, you don't need a passport - you can fly EWR-HNL-Guam-Saipan without one, but if you want to travel between the US Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands, you've got to show a passport.
