Now if I can just stop hitting the delete key.  You and my husband must
think a like.  We were talking about this over lunch (what's the best
denomination) weird things we end up talking about.
Anyway, he agrees with you, if you want to get a wad of cash or pay for
larger purchases have a few $100's in travelers checks.  And cash them at
the bank.  Smaller denominations for meals, trinkets and such.
Just don't try to buy something small with though.

And definately hide the money around your person in Washington DC.  Great
place to visit if you stay on your guard a bit.

Hey Beth!  The reason I told Deri to use larger denominations of traveller's
checks is that you have to get them cashed less often.  Any bank will cash
them gratis, so you can always have enough currency in your pocket to use at
those establishments that don't accept the checks.  (sorry for the run-on
sentence.  been a rough morning.)  Would you agree with this advice for
Deri?:  Use "plastic" as often as possible.  It's easier to deal with than
carring around a wad of either currency or cheques, plus you get the
advantage of a spending post-mortem on your trip as soon as the statement
comes 'round by post.
