You can take a Caribbean cruise using an ID and birth certificate.

Pretty sure you don’t need a passport when entering Mexico at the border when driving, at least that’s how it used to be.

Greeneville TN is the only one to spell it that way. Having relatives from that part of the country, I learned that as a young child.

I always wonder why Morocco doesn’t just take those cities back. They are so small Spain really shouldn’t be able to do shite about it.
