You will have the opportunity to shop for personal
souvenirs and other free time items. Personal spending
money can be carried in various forms.
Cash and ATM Cards
Take some cash with you and exchange it at our destination
airport or at a bank or change center in some cities
on our route. You can also use your ATM card at some
locations throughout the trip to get local currency.
Do not carry large amounts of cash.
Credit & ATM Cards
Credit cards (American Express, Visa, and MasterCard)
are honored in many places. However, do not count
on having your credit cards take the place of cash,
or to be able to use them in nearly as many situations
as in the U.S. Credit cards and ATM Cards are the
easiest way to obtain money when needed (if a cash
machine is available and working). We find that an
ATM card, a Credit Card (Visa/MC) and a small amount
of cash for emergencies is the most efficient and
convenient way to obtain money.
Traveler's Checks
The safest way to handle money (but not always the
easiest way to exchange) is to take a supply of traveler's
checks sufficient to cover your needs. We recommend
checks in $20 denominations.
