Kestral,
Excellent question. Me and the wife will be going next Saturday and were just discussing how we would handle the money situation. Usually, we bring a set amount in cash and have a set amount available in multiple bank accounts for atm withdrawal as necessary...however, listening to the posts, we are going to change our approach and bring some cash and the rest in travelers checks (of course, atm withdrawals will be available upon request ) We find the ATM is not that bad from our credit union account (no fees) and it only has a $200 dollar a day limit. We'll let you know how the travelers checks pans out for us on our return...

I always get Travelers Checks from AAA. Great tip about using AAA for winnings but like Susan, I haven't been that fortunate YET!!
Hubby and I have a daily allotment which I am pretty strick about...he's not :rolleyes: . However, I usually come home with a few TC and he doesn't .
