MONEY MATTERS



               Top Three Tips
                 •  Carry a mix of different types of payments, such as local currency, an ATM card, and a
                    credit card

                 •  Traveler’s checks are not accepted in the countries that you will visit on this trip.

                 •  You will not be able to pay with U.S. dollars on this trip; you will need local currency.
