Get that passport ready

Let’s face it, it hasn’t been easy to travel for quite some time. Now it’s going to get a little tougher. Starting next year, if you plan to go to Mexico, Canada or the Caribbean, you’re going to need a passport (right now you just need a driver’s license and birth certificate). According to statistics, only 25 percent of Americans own a valid passport—but that number is likely to rise, real fast. Infoplease.com compiled a list of Americans’ top travel destinations. Guess who’s on top.
