AMEX just came out with a product "traveller check card"...anybody tried it yet? That sounds like the way to go now, if you want to use traveller checks
Personally I have not used a traveller check in about 10 years. I have used ATM's all over Central/South America, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Italy, France, England without a hitch...I directed my parents to do the same when they went to Europe this summer for 24 days, they also used it without a hitch. I always call the bank ahead of time and let them know what I'm doing and where I'm are going to be.
Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
