Wait so you brought a bunch of cash on vacation? Or were you able to withdraw cash as you needed it from a bank?

  Yes and yes. We already carry iPhones, iPad, laptop, jewelry, etc, so no big deal. Most nice hotels have safe deposit boxes intended for the purpose if necessary. I also have a Charles Schwab checking account that I use for travel, which reimburses atm fees.

    interesting approach, but if you do a bit of fun travel into far off exotic places, hotel deposit box becomes a joke and putting a small heap of cash in it is a russian roulette with local personnel that they won't simply run away with it (since it can easily be their 10 year+ income). all the hassle simply because of a lack of a bit of discipline with spending...

      I travel quite a bit in far off exotic places. Usually the simplest is to draw a wad of cash from the local cash point, put it in your wallet and pay the bills with cash. You only have one provider, your bank, to hit you with imaginative charges and don't have to worry about the local restaurant charging say made up jewellery purchases to your card which can happen in some places.
