I'd have to agree that TC have had their day.
I went from the Uk to the USA for 5 months. i found travellers checks pain in the butt to cash... one bank (called citibank i think) refused to cash them because i don't have an account with them:confused1:.
The AMEX travel offices are light on the ground i.e. nothing in San Diego!! I had to keep going into banks to find one to cash them. Bank of America changed them in the end but it was the second bank of America i tried.
I once got away with using them at Walmart. But on the whole it was a head wreaking idea
The USA is a great place to travel around, with fantastic roads and cheap accommidation ( go Motel 6!) but it's not set up like Europe. Everything is aimed at the domestic tourist. So some things can be a bit more difficult than a European trip.
Have a good ún!
