Travellers Checks

Almost NO place will accept traveler's checks. They are just about useless here. If you can find someone to do so there will be a huge fee (generally 20%) and you will get a bad exchange rate on top of that.  My advice is to leave them at home.

If you don't like taking cash then use your ATM cards here. You will get a good rate on the exchange (usuallly) as well. However do notify your bank you are traveling here or they will put a hold on you card the first time you use it fearing fraud.

Bob, that's great advice, thank you. We ran into the same thing when we travelled to Panama a couple of years ago.

Take care,
