It's a good point about the card getting confiscated, or even lost, stolen or going wrong. I always carry two or three. The rates tend to be very competitive.

If you buy travellers cheques, they MUST be US$. Anything else is so rarely seen that it will be treated with the gravest suspicion.

Tanya, in re: your large purchase, you should know that you may be limited to withdrawing $300 or so at a time (or per day) from ATM machines. Also, CC fraud is sufficiently rampant that if you suddenly start making large, daily purchases, and don't ordinarily do so, your CC company may assume that your card has been stolen and cut you off. It's unlikely, but it does happen.

I travel a lot, here and overseas, and carry travelers' cheques and some cash.
