Thread: When traveling do you carry Cash....

When traveling do you carry.

A. Cash
B. Credit Cards/Debit Cards
C. Travelers Checks

geez, I'm not sure how to answer that.

It depends on where I am going. If its within the US or the Caribbean, then its cash.

If its overseas then it is credit card/debit card

There is the option of multiple choice.

I'm an A/B person. For small purchases, it's cash, in the local currency. For large purchases, it's plastic. I don't use Traveler's Checks any more, now that you can find an ATM in almost any place you would want to vacation. I found one in the middle of Bulgaria, and that's remote enough for me.

i didnt know that. i just voted with both choices!

I have to say it depends upon where I am traveling to...so I voted A and B. I don't ever use Traveler's Checks.

Good Question! Didn't know how to respond because we do ALL three!

We try not to carry a LOT of cash, but you must have SOME

I haven't gotten traveler's cheques the last two or three cruises. If my hubby gets them, he gets $100 denominations sometimes. I get kinda embarrassed when he takes one of them out for a smaller purchase (usually we get tee-shirts and minor jewelry...nothing along the lines of multi-hundred dollar purchases) and then the cashier has to find enough change.
