I will officially be in Aruba Just a question to the seasoned aruba travellers, who uses traveler's checks when they travel? Are they an incovenience or easy to use? I'd rather use that than giving my credit card but if it's not widely accepted down there I'd rather not use the traveler's checks.

Thanks

I use travelers checks everytime I'm there. The easiest place I've found to cash them is at the cashier in the Casino at our Hotel. Enjoy yourself, we'll be there Nov. 10th.

Like Jerry said, we also take !, 5, !0, & 20 $ for the first day at least to tip, cab, etc. Have a Great trip.

We bring a combo of cash, travelers checks, and credit card. Only use the CC for the hotel and car rental. We use the travelers checks to pay for restaurant tabs, bar tabs, grocery store purchases, etc. We never have to cash them and use them just like cash. Only thing that has changed recently is that if we use them at the grocery store they are now asking for a passport for I.D. (not a big deal since we know to bring it with us if we're making a large grocery store run.)
