Nothing going out of the country, usually have to pay a "tax" coming back in. It can vary depending on where you are coming from. I can't remember what I paid to JS out of Spain 2 years ago, something like $40. At some places you can pre pay when you leave the US, or so I've heard. Enjoy the priveledge and use it as much as you can. It's basically a free (or very inexpensive) pass to see the world.

Also, I don't know who you work for, but if your company has pass agreements with foreign carriers, it can be a good idea to have some ZED/ID-90's in your back pocket just in case. Usually they are refundable if you don't use them. Not always 100%, but you are not out the full cost if they go unused.
