IMPORTANT financial information for traveling abroad: If you usually don't travel abroad, phone your financial institutions before leaving for your trip. Let them know which ATM/credit cards you plan to use—and your length of stay outside the U.S. Otherwise, you may find your ATM and credit cards blocked after you start using them abroad. (Your bank may suspect fraudulant use and freeze your card.) Don't get stuck in a financial bind! Inform your banks of your trip before leaving!
