An interactive, multimedia digital cybertour.

You wait patiently for your turn at the immigration counter.  It takes roughly 17 million years.

When you get up there, you hand the unsmiling immigration officer the little pink form they gave out on the plane that asked for your name, address, purpose of visit, estimated duration of visit, high school prom song, the words to "Louie Louie," and next of kin.  Feeling gregarious, you attempt to make some small talk, but the immigration officer looks at you silently with a mixture of disdain and impatience, so you shut up.

The immigration officer then asks for your passport.

You don't have a passport (if you had checked your items, you would have known this already).   Ever resourceful, however, you helpfully direct the immigration officer's attention to the part of the Lonely Planet Micronesia book that says:

U.S. citizens do not need a passport to visit Micronesia.  You may, however, be required to produce proof of your citizenship with a birth certificate, driver's license, or some other means of identification.

The immigration officer helpfully directs your attention to the plane outside, and suggests that, unless you have a passport, you be prepared to return to Guam on the next flight.  Contrary to what Lonely Planet says, you do need a passport to get in.
