I'll be in Canada, but not in Kansas, prior commitment. There is nothing to going to Canada, just call your insurance agent to make sure your car insurance is valid there, no big deal. Passport is a good thing to have, in most countries that is the standard of identification, just like we use a drivers license for ID. But, unless you are flying there, it is not necessary, do take a birth certificate or DD214, for proof of citizenship to get back into the US. Other than that it is like going thru the check out at your local supermarket, no big deal. Besides, I ain't afraid of no wolf, and I bleed red, not yellow!
Take care!!!
