There are so many nuances to travel. This is a big one that not many travelers are aware of.

In addition to checking your passport expiration date, make sure you also have enough blank pages (for visas, entry stamps, etc.) to travel. Some countries require that your passport have two to four blank pages and some airlines will not allow you to board if you do not meet this requirement.

If you’re running out of pages, it’s time to renew! Check to see if you meet the requirements to renew online at travel.state.gov/renewonline.

🇲🇽 REMINDER! Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico’s Independence Day. That’s September 16, also known as Dieciséis de Septiembre. May 5 marks the 1862 Battle of Puebla, when Mexican forces defeated the French.

It’s more than tacos and margaritas, though you should absolutely enjoy some. It’s a day to honor Mexican culture, pride, courage, and resilience. 🙌🏽

🇲🇽 ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
