When did purchasing a simple thing like traveler’s checks turn out to be the equivalent of searching for the holy grail? Banks, for the most part no longer offer them. AAA doesn’t sell them. I had a lead from one bank that there was a rumor that another bank might still sell them. Nope. I could order checks from American Express, but they might or might not arrive before I depart on Wednesday.
I guess I’ll be traveling with cash then. I just remember the days when one could walk into one’s bank and buy the darned things. Did I hallucinate?
I’m glad your getting this all figured out for us! We now know to double check our itinerary several times in the months before the trip, double check our vaccinations a couple of months ahead of the trip, buy traveler’s checks a couple of months ahead of the trip. Whew, you are saving the rest of us a lot of headaches. Don’t hold out on us with anything else you learn!
