Sometimes Credit Cards are Good


CNN.com recently posted this article "Five credit cards every traveler should consider". Personally, I prefer a pre-loaded debit (sometimes called "gift") card for each trip. I set my budget for each trip and load that onto a debit card. This allows me to easily track my spending and keeps me from returning from the trip with a huge balance on my credit card. However, if you are traveling to a country without multiple ATM access points, you must be sure to get cash before moving on to your next destination.  I have learned this lesson many times, unfortunately.


Here's some links to finding ATMs worldwide:
