Border Crossings: To travel between the U.S. and Canada, you will need a U.S. Passport, passport card, or NEXUS card. When traveling to Mexico, bring your U.S. passport, NEXUS, SENTRI, Green Card, residency documentation, Global Entry, or FAST.

Weather: In Canada, the west coast climate is temperate and mild, but rainy, while the east coast climate varies by the season. Bring layers for the winter and light clothing for the summer.

In the United States, the weather largely depends on where you’re traveling. Florida, Hawaii, and the southwest tend to be warmer and milder (though Florida and the southwest can sometimes be cool in the winter, so you should check before you go), while northern regions change seasonally.

In Mexico, the north has cooler winters, while the south remains warm year-round.
