[Noisebridge-discuss] Best strategy and currency for foreign travel..

[Martin Bogomolni]

So, to summarize the thread a bit:

In countries with a highly developed banking system--
   * Cash in the local currency enough for a day
   * Travelers Checks enough to cover a major expense
   * 2 Credit Card w/ ATM access across different networks

In countries with a less developed banking system--
  * Cash in the local currency for needed expenses on the trip
  * Backup Cash in US or Euro to cover a major expense
  * Traveler's Checks as a final backup
  * Credit Card, but don't count on ATM access

In countries without easy bank access--
  * Cash in the local currency, enough for all needs
  * Backup Cash in US or Euro for a couple major expenses
  * Traveler's Checks as the only backup

Sound about right?
