I missed the warning on TCs by Brassi?
My bank issues TCs with no fees. The cambios all take them and as long as I plan for Sundays/Holidays, no problems ever using them - unless changed in last 6mos.
Plus it helps me keep to budget - when my cash is gone for the day, no more spending until I cash TCs budgeted for next day.

Also, my ATM charges both out-of-network fee and 3% foreign transaction fee. On a past trip, after returning and getting my bank statement - I had surprise of fees totalling a little more than $US12 for each $300 withdrawal - so THAT is for emergencies only for me, now. I know Canadians with Scotia Bank accounts are lucky there and probably some US banks, too - but it's worth checking your agreement to NOT be similarly surprised. If I had card with no fees I might change my method.

Laptop locks can be gotten really cheap on eBay - if you have time before your trip. I prefer combination type so don't have to worry about another key.

The Bubba Keg is great - many sizes but I found 52oz size is perfect for beach. I pack it with small items so doesn't take up so much valuable space in bag. Wal-Mart has them during warmer months in my area - or you can order from the Bubba Keg website. I usually give it to security guard or beach guard when I leave. They LOVE it because I have yet to see them in stores there - not to say they aren't available in MoBay or somewhere.
