Documents needed?

Hi guys (again)

I now have two holidays booked for 2007 and need help on something....

We are going to Spain and America and have been told we need some sort of health card for spain? Does anyone know anything about this and also do we need any paperwork for going to America?

Thanks

Lou

    You need the the new E111 card which replaced the form you used to get at the Post office.
    You can apply for this on line

    no visa needed at the moment if you are a uk citizen, and staying for less than 90 days

    Your passport must also not be expiring within 6 months of your dates of travel

    Remember to get some travel insurance as well!!

    Also if you have a criminal conviction (and I'm not saying you do), I think you need a visa. But if you don't (which I'm presuming is the case) then you enter under the Visa Waiver Program.
