no passport? no problemo!

In spite of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative of 2009, which mandates that all passengers traveling by air to Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean must carry passports, Americans can still visit tropical U.S. territories with only a driver's license.

It does not take a passport to enjoy the warm, sunny weather of the following  regions.

Puerto Rico

 

Situated two and a half hours from Miami in a pocket of water between the Atlantic and the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is a U.S. island territory. Influences of Africa, Spain, Latin America and the U.S. collide in the culture of this small chain of islands. Visit the mountainous interior, tropical rain forests and southern beaches to stare into the Caribbean waters and forget the mainland.

U.S. Virgin Islands

The U.S. Virgin Islands, which include St. Croix, St. Thomas and St. John, were acquired by the U.S. as territories in 1917.  Enjoy all that the islands have to offer by learning their history as well swimming, diving and enjoying the weather. Not too far from either Miami or San Juan.

American Samoa

The six Polynesian islands in the heart of the South Pacific that make up American Samoa are another tropical territory of the U.S. Far from the borders of the American mainland, tourists seeking some peace and respite from the more obvious beach getaways will find island life in these tropical islands refreshing. Discover the jungle or just hang out at the beach and leave the working world behind.

Hawaii

Hawaii has it all; glistening beaches, snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, active - and dormant - volcanoes and warm, sunny days all year round. The Pacific island chain is not too far, slightly more than five hours from the U.S. mainland when flying from Los Angeles.
