What about American Express Traveler's checks, are they easy to use?? Does everyone accept them?

American Express are a disaster for retailers. We used to accept them, until we found they imposed incredibly high charges (>10%) and kept us waiting 6 weeks for (what was left of) our money.

If you must use credit cards, bring Visa and Master. But US cash is preferred, followed by US travelers checks.

Is there a difference in American Express Travelers Checks and US travelers checks?

No. Seems that pedro2 has confused Amex Travelers Cheques with American Express Credit Cards which indeed do have the problems he mentions. The TCs are OK...

Phew, thanks Jesse. That's a relief. I always carry American Express TC's.

General question about leaving things in rooms... on AC I'm sure it's not so much a problem, larger hotels would even have a safe, I'm assuming. But, when travelling inland (San Ignacio) and into Guatemala (Tikal and Flores) what's the recommended practice... I'm hesitant to leave cameras, passport, plane ticket (sadly, no e-ticket for me this trip), money, etc... in the rooms there, but I'm also hesitant to carry everything with me everywhere I go. Any recommendations?
