Hi! I have never traveled overseas before and I am getting a bit confused. I have a prepaid Mastercard and a PC financial bank account. I am told that my bank card may or may not work at some machines. Neither of the cards can be replaced while I am there so if they were lost I would be screwed. Traveler's checks seem unwieldy somehow.
I am having a nightmare vision of wandering around London from machine to machine and having no way to draw cash, then getting robbed of my Mastercard and being stuck there for 5 weeks w/no money. Eek!
I am going alone so I may be a bit paranoid. Advice?
