travellers cheques or Cash?

[booger]

Scotia Bank ATM at Time Square is the best bet. Not many eyes are watching you, outside of the shopkeepers who want you to come in and spend some money. With fees, you are in the same ballpark as bringing cash and using a cambio. I bring two cards from two different accounts, just in case one is compromised, however I have never had one compromised in Jamaica.

Hey Jojo, I'm not much for bush, so I cannot relate..... I should state the one disadvantage of the Times Square ATM is the lack of an enclosure. If that is a concern go elsewhere, however I tend to go early, while the bad guys are still sleeping.

Just to put out there, I quit carrying American Express,most places quite honoring the card. It's become worthless in JA.
